Alex Smith and his wife Elizabeth were interviewed by 60 Minutes last night, and gave some insight into his injury, his recovery, the comeback, his setback this year, and possibly a hint at his future plans. Smith’s injury on November 18, 2018 has been well-documented. He suffered a spiral fracture to his tibia and fibula, and was rushed from the field to the operating room. His wound got infected and he almost lost his leg, and possibly his life, while undergoing 17 surgeries.
His comeback has been one of the biggest stories in Washington and the NFL this season.
