There is news on the Alex Smith front, and it’s not good.
Smith, whom the 49ers selected with the first pick in the 2005 NFL draft, is fighting infection in his right leg, in which two bones were broken on Nov. 18.
Smith, 34, in his first season with the Washington Redskins, had his fibula and tibia snapped when he was sacked by Houston’s J.J. Watt. According to ESPN he has had multiple surgeries and remains in the hospital.
