After many surgeries following the injury, Smith was dealing with some serious infections, but it seems as though that isn’t an issue anymore. Six months after suffering a gruesome injury, former Ute Alex Smith was spotted at the Washington Redskins OTA’s before the season.

Smith mentioned in August that he would like to play in the NFL again.
