It’s NOT over for quarterback Alex Smith who left the game on a stretcher Sunday after a gruesome leg injury.
Read on to get the latest devastating leg injury that left Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith with a broken leg in two spots…
CelebNSports247.com reports that Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith is out for the count after getting sacked.
Kareem Jackson and J.J. Watt of the Houston Texans sacked Washington quarterback Alex Smith in the backfield for a big loss.
The sack forced Smith to land awkwardly on his leg and cause an injury painful enough that the quarterback had to be taken off on a stretcher after remaining on the ground for an extended period of time. If you’re not a fan of leg breaks, don’t watch the following video.
However, the Redskins quarterback Alex Smith, who was carted off the field on Sunday after breaking his lower leg, had successful surgery to repair the broken bones.
According to Ian Rapoport, the injury is not considered to be career threatening.
That was not the case when former Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann suffered an eerily similar injury 33-years ago to the day that Smith suffered his.
