KANSAS CITY, MO - SEPTEMBER 11: Quarterback Alex Smith

Alex Smith has taken the latest step in his incredible recovery from injury as an active player for Washington.

What once looked unthinkable has taken just under two years to become a reality. Former Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith has taken the next step in his long road of recovery by being listed as active for Week 5 for the Washington Football Team.

Washington is set to host the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday at 12:00 p.m. C.T. When the players take the field, Smith will be tasked with backing up Kyle Allen, an very real task for him in a very real football game that felt like an impossibility late in 2018.
