49ers 2019 opponent preview: Washington

It’s been said several times that Niners Nation is a big, big, Alex Smith house. Even if against him, it would have been nice to see Smith playing again. That won’t be happening thanks to a brutal leg injury that comes with warnings if curiosity prompts a search for it. The video is graphic, and the injury may have ended Smith’s career.

So no Alex Smith for 2019. It’s a shame because his story as the once-labeled bust to decent quarterback is something anyone can get behind. It would have been sweet to see him win a Super Bowl after everything he went through while he was with Kansas City, but it’s not happening.
