Alex Smith’s return to the football field is just about complete.

The Washington quarterback has been fully cleared for football activity and has been activated from the PUP list. The team announced the move on Sunday morning with a celebratory Twitter post.

It has been nearly 21 months since Smith went down with a gruesome leg injury in 2018, which has required more than a dozen surgeries and extensive rehab.

Smith’s wife hinted something was coming with a heartwarming champagne celebration posted on Instagram hours before the news broke of Smith’s impending activation.
