Let this day be marked in history as the biggest win in the career of quarterback Alex Smith.
There were no games played, and no touchdowns were thrown, but Smith was cleared for full activity by his doctors, according to ESPN’s Stephania Bell. This may not mean that he’s suiting up in pads right away, but it means that he can start to work more and more on his eventual comeback.
Here is an excerpt from the ESPN article on the situation:
Smith, who spoke to ESPN while filming an update for his E:60 documentary “Project 11,” is in the process of going through COVID-19 testing and expects to report Monday to the team’s facility, where he will undergo a team physical.
Once there, the team is expected to determine the next steps for Smith’s eventual participation in training camp.
“Everyone was in agreement that my bone was in a really good place,” Smith told ESPN. “I had healed a lot. They said that given the combination of the rod and where I was with the healing process, I had zero limitations and could even resume some football activities.
What this means for the Washington Football Team going forward is unknown, as they seem to be set at the quarterback position with both Dwayne Haskins and Kyle Allen ready to go. However, that’s a question for another time. All that matters right now is Smith has taken the biggest step in his recovery, and he’s that much closer to playing football again.
