Exactly one year ago on November 18, Alex Smith suffered a nasty broken leg in his Washington Redskins’ game against the Houston Texans. The injury was severe, as some horrific details from the incident showed.
Beyond the broken bones from a spiral fracture, Smith also was treated for an infection. All together, he ended up undergoing an astounding 17 surgeries.
The quarterback has overcome a lot and is able to run and carry weights, even though the injury caused him to miss all of the 2019 season on top of the remainder of the 2018 season.
Smith’s wife Liz shared a video on Instagram Monday that showed how far the quarterback has come from his injury. Take a look:
Smith still has three years left on his contract. Washington drafted Dwayne Haskins in the first round this year, and added Case Keenum on top of a group that also includes Colt McCoy. They have prepared for a future that may not include Smith, even though he appears to be doing what he can to see if he can continue his playing career.
