Alex Smith and his family recently received some good news, with the Washington Football Team quarterback being cleared to return to football activities in the wake of his horrific leg injury. Elizabeth Smith posted a video of the family celebrating the good news on social media:
The quarterback wasted no time returning to the field, as he participated in practice on Sunday. The organization posted clips of Smith working out with the rest of the team on Sunday afternoon:

It remains unclear how much Smith will play going forward, but as his wife indicated in another social media post, this journey is Alex’s and Alex’s alone:

But just by working back to this point, after suffering an injury that threatened Smith’s leg itself, the accomplishment and hard work of the quarterback should be celebrated. He should be a shoo-in for the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year at this point alone, and if he goes on to play in a regular season game? Write the screenplay now.
