Alex Smith Limited Wednesday
4 years agoWashington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) was limited in practice on Wednesday, with head coach Ron Rivera saying, "it looked like he threw the ball well." The 36-year-old QB missed Weeks 15 and 16 with a calf strain but returned in the Week 17 win over the Eagles, but his movement was limited in an up-and-down performance. "Tomorrow is going to be a telling day," Smith said. Barring a setback, Smith should be able to suit up for the wild-card playoff game against the Buccaneers, but he's unlikely to be fully healthy and could rotate with backup Taylor Heinicke in the contest. It's not exactly a ringing endorsement for Smith as a fantasy asset, as he wasn't really anything more than a low-end QB2 before he suffered his calf injury.
