Alex Smith Opens Up About Gnarly Cut Sustained In Win Over Steelers
Smith might have benefitted from the timing of the wound
Alex Smith set social media ablaze Monday night, but it wasn’t for his play against the Steelers.
Smith’s left leg was seen spewing out blood late in the second quarter of Washington’s Week 13 win over previously unbeaten Pittsburgh. The cut, which opened up on Smith’s shin, resulted in the white tape over his cleat and ankle being covered in blood.
WFT trainers initially put a wrap on the gash before it was more appropriately handled at halftime. After the game, Smith opened up about the wound.
For those wondering, the cut was not on the leg Smith gruesomely injured two years ago, which prompted the veteran quarterback’s lengthy absence.
Smith was solid against the Steelers, throwing for 296 yards with a touchdown as Washington improved its record to 5-7. WFT will try to stay level with the New York Giants in the NFC East standings Sunday when it visits the San Francisco 49ers.
