Alex Smith's progress from injury documented in new video

Monday marked officially one year since Redskins quarterback Alex Smith broke his tibia and fibula in a loss to Houston Texans. The injury required 17 surgeries and may result in Smith never playing professional football again.

But in a post on Instagram, Smith’s wife uploaded a video which shows how much progress the 35-year-old has made in the last year.

Set to Andra Day’s “Rise Up,” the clip shows images of Smith in the hospital to video of the quarterback running at the Redskins’ facility in Ashburn:

After Smith’s injury, the Redskins collapsed, going from 6-3 to 7-9.
