Alex Smith Active for 1st Time Since 2018 Leg Injury with Dwayne Haskins Out

Washington Football Team quarterback will be active for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams, while Dwayne Haskins will be out with an illness.

Kyle Allen will start in place of Haskins, a move that was announced earlier this week. Haskins was expected to be the team's No. 3 quarterback.

Smith has not been active since suffering a catastrophic leg injury in November 2018. Many expected his career to be over, but Smith was able to make a remarkable recovery and join the active roster during the offseason.

Haskins replaced Case Keenum midway through the 2019 season.
