It didn’t take Alex Smith’s return to the field on Sunday to make Colt McCoy remember Alex Smith’s departure from the field two years ago.
That injury was already on McCoy’s mind during the Giants’ game against the Cowboys, when Dak Prescott suffered a compound fracture and dislocation of his ankle in the third quarter.
"It felt so similar," McCoy said of seeing Prescott go down compared to when Smith suffered compound and spiral fractures to his right tibia and fibula in November 2018.
