A new image of Washington Redskins QB Alex Smith‘s injury from 4 days after his devastating broken leg injury in 2018 has surfaced … and it’s beyond displeasing.
Of course, Smith has previously stated he’s lucky to be alive — let alone have his right leg — following the unfortunate in-game incident against the Texans … as his road to recovery was hindered by infections that required 17 follow-up surgeries.
A picture of Smith’s infected leg just days after surgery was aired on ESPN Monday — as part of a promo for the E:60 documentary “Project 11” premiering on Friday — and it shows how bad the infection was.
35-year-old Smith has previously said that he’s focused on getting better and maintains the goal of getting back on to the football field … but understands there are no guarantees.
