Washington quarterback Alex Smith apparently underwent far more surgeries than originally thought following a gruesome leg injury he suffered in a November contest against the Houston Texans.
According to Thom Loverro of the Washington Times, Smith told an audience at an Inova Sports Medicine event on Oct. 2 in Fairfax, Virginia, that he underwent 17 surgeries.
Loverro noted that stands in stark contrast to a December report that said he had six surgeries in an effort to remove tissue after he was diagnosed with an infection after an operation on his broken fibula and tibia.
