First and foremost, no one wants to see injuries to other players, not even when that injury affects a rival. Unfortunately, we all know that it’s a component that has long existed in a game that we all love. A season ago, the Philadelphia Eagles lost their signal caller late in the season. In 2018, Philly saw an unfortunate injury to one of their most bitter rivals’ starting quarterback.
Shortly after the Washington Redskins‘ 23-21 loss at home to the Houston Texans, their head coach, Jay Gruden, announced that Alex Smith had fractured the fibula and tibia in his right leg and that he would undergo surgery right away.
