Alex Smith – Important – Injury
QB Alex Smith is dealing with an infection related to last month’s season-ending surgery, multiple media outlets reported Thursday. Smith is battling an infection that resulted from surgery to repair a broken fibula and tibia that he suffered in a loss to the Houston Texans on Nov. 18, the NFL Network reported, citing sources. The Redskins released a statement Thursday asking for privacy on behalf of Smith and his family as unconfirmed stories started to circulate on social media about the severity of the infection. Smith suffered the two broken bones in his leg in the second half against Houston after he was sacked by the Texans’ Kareem Jackson and J.J. Watt.
