Alex Smith’s NFL career could be in jeopardy after he developed serious complications following his surgery to repair his broken leg sustained in a game a few weeks ago.

The report first came from Redskins fansite Burgundy Blog.

And was later corroborated by Eric Bickel who went on to say that Smith’s career was in “real jeopardy” due to the infection.

NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport also confirmed the report said that it was too early to know the ramifications of the infection had on Smith.

The Redskins also released a statement this morning asking for prayers.
