Alex Smith‘s injury has really muddied the waters for the Redskins quarterback situation for another season. Smith’s unfortunate leg injury was a brutal one, and it’s unclear when, or if, he will return to the team. It’s possible that he could miss a big chunk of the 2019 season — if not all of it — as he is on the road to recovery.

With that said, the Redskins have to spend the 2019 offseason preparing insurance policies in the event that Smith can’t play. They already have a fairly solid one in place with Colt McCoy.
