Ever since a devastating tackle from J.J. Watt left Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith‘s leg in shambles, the veteran quarterback has fallen out of the media spotlight.
At first, after the injury was sustained, Smith’s surgery was reported to have been successful. Shortly after, however, it was revealed that Smith had suffered from complications resulting from the surgery, and that infection had settled in.
Smith’s fight with post-surgery infection went on for some time, and on December 16, 2018, his wife posted on Instagram that Smith had finally returned home.
