NFL round-up: Alex Smith's gruesome leg injury overshadows Washington loss

  • Quarterback has broken tibia and fibia in his right leg
  • Lamar Jackson leads Baltimore to win in first start

Justin Reid returned an interception 101 yards to help the Houston Texans overcome a mistake-prone Deshaun Watson and beat Washington 23-21 on Sunday for their seventh consecutive victory.

Washington’s loss came at a significant price when quarterback Alex Smith suffered a gruesome injury on a sack in the third quarter. Smith’s right ankle turned the wrong way as he was sacked by Kareem Jackson and JJ Watt on a play eerily similar to Joe Theismann’s broken leg that came exactly 33 years ago to the day, and ended his career. Washington coach Jay Gruden later said Smith is done for the year and had broken the tibia and fibula in his right leg.
