Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith continued his remarkable comeback, earning a spot on the 53-man roster, a source said Saturday.
Smith likely will be Washington's No. 3 quarterback, which means he'd be inactive during the regular season. Smith did not participate in full-padded 11-on-11 work during the training camp portion open to the media this summer. Dwayne Haskins will start; Kyle Allen is the No. 2 quarterback.
Teams must trim their roster to 53 by 4 p.m. ET Saturday.
Coach Ron Rivera had said they'd want to see Smith in full-team work to best assess his movement in the pocket -- and his ability to protect himself.
