Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith made his first appearance in just under two years Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. Coming back from a gruesome leg injury, Smith was rocked by one of the NFL’s most prominent defenders.
On a 3rd-and-4 from the Washington 42 yard line, Aaron Donald was seen jumping on his back and sacking him to the ground as everybody held their breath, given what happened with the quarterback in November 2018.
After the sack, Donald could be heard saying that Smith’s leg was quite strong after he had 17 surgeries.
In 2018, Smith suffered a broken fibula and tibia and spent the last two seasons working to return to the field.
