We knew there was a chance that Smith might play today if something happened to Allen, and now it’s official.
Allen is out of the game after getting his world absolutely rocked, and Alex Smith is playing QB in an NFL game for the first time since 2018.
It’s truly a remarkable turn of events and one hell of a comeback.
Washington quarterback Alex Smith has entered the game. His incredible comeback journey is complete.
For the first time since his horrific 2018 injury, Alex smith is playing in an NFL game.
