When Alex Smith went down with a brutal-looking leg injury against the Houston Texans last season, there were many doubts about his future with the Washington Redskins. First and foremost, his health was a major issue and over the course of an eight-month span, he went through procedures to help fix his leg and stabilize it after the injury.
The questions weren’t about football, at that time. It was all about whether or not he would be able to walk on that leg again.
But since that point, Smith has started to heal. He is almost certainly going to miss the entire 2019 season, but he may want to take a shot at a comeback in 2020.
