Alex Smith Injury: Redskins quarterback carted off after hurting leg/ankle

Redskins starting quarterback Alex Smith seemingly suffered a significant leg/ankle injury during Washington’s Week 11 game against the Houston Texans.

Smith went down awkwardly while being sacked by the Texans’ defense. I’d embed the clip here to show you what it looked like but it’s probably too gruesome for that. If you really want to watch, you can click here, but I’d advise against it.

Smith had to be carted off the field after getting hurt. That means backup quarterback Colt McCoy is now under center for Jay Gruden’s team.
