Thirty-three years to the day after former Washington quarterback Joe Theismann suffered the horrific right leg double fracture that ended his career, current Washington quarterback Alex Smith suffered a similar double fracture of his lower right leg. Smith was immediately taken to a nearby hospital, where he has already been through surgery to repair his tibia and fibula. Unlike Theismann, Smith's injury should not be career-threatening, but his season is undoubtedly over. He is currently ranked 23rd in both DVOA and DYAR. Assuming that his surgery and recovery go according to plan, Smith may be limited for some of the team's offseason program but should be able to return by opening day of 2019.
