Smith was injured horribly last season Allen Bailey Jersey , and the Redskins had hopes he would be able to return in 2019" Kansas City Chiefs NewsFormer Chiefs QB Alex Smith placed on Redskins’ PUP listNew,19commentsSmith was injured horribly last season, and the Redskins had hopes he would be able to return in 2019CDTAccording to a report from NBC Sports’ Pro Football Talk, former Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith has been placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list by the Washington Redskins.Smith, 35, has been recovering from the devastating compound leg fracture he suffered last November in the Week 11 game against the Houston Texans. Back in February, Redskins vice president of player personnel Doug Williams refused to rule out the possibility that Smith would return for 2019 — and Smith had shown some recent progress in his recovery.In mid-July, his wife Elizabeth posted a photo on Instagram showing that Smith was no longer wearing the external fixator that had been aiding in the healing process.“The last 8 months have been nothing short of crazy,” she said in a post. “Although it’s not over, today is a big milestone. We are shedding the weight Alex has been carrying (literally and figuratively). It’s one step closer to the goal. The resilience, determination and mental fortitude of this man is unmatched.”“Our job is to do everything we can to get him right,” said Redskins head coach Jay Gruden via PFT. “His job is to come in here and help in any way he feels fit to do so. So if it’s in meeting, helping out our young quarterbacks... He’s got Case Keenum who’s never been in the system; Colt [McCoy] has been here for a while, but he’s hasn’t had many starting games; and obviously Eric Fisher Jersey , Dwayne Haskins is a rookie. So having his influence and his leadership in that quarterback room will be beneficial.”Smith served as Chiefs quarterback for five seasons before being traded to the Redskins after the 2017 season.He is widely credited with aiding in the development of current Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who played behind Smith for one season before being named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player in 2018 — his first season as the starter.“I will come back to last year and being in that room with Alex Smith, having that opportunity to see how he worked,” said Chiefs coach head Andy Reid last September. “For a young guy, that’s invaluable. Alex was not one who was going to hide anything or play games with him or anything like that. He kept it all out in the open and was secure enough, that wasn’t a problem. He came into a good situation with Alex and I said that was priceless for him. There’s no way he could repay Alex with having that experience. That was phenomenal.”While on the PUP list, Smith may attend team meetings and work out in the Redskins facility.He may not practice with the team until he is cleared by medical personnel.If Smith finishes the preseason on the PUP list, he may be placed on the regular season PUP list, which will make him ineligible for the first six weeks of the season.After that, Smith would have to be allowed to return to practice, placed on injured reserve or released within five weeks.“The most important thing for me, and for this organization, is for Alex to get well,” said Gruden. “So if he needs to take time and do some rehab Cameron Erving Jersey , or what have you, then he is free to do that. I know that he wants to be a part of this and help out in any way that he can.” It's hard to tell these days what's more entertaining to watch: Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs' high-flying offense or their crazy, creative touchdown celebrations.Opposing teams are getting a heavy dose of both.The latest victim was the Cincinnati Bengals, who watched Mahomes torch their banged-up defense for 358 yards and four touchdowns in a 45-10 Chiefs victory Sunday night. Kareem Hunt added three touchdowns, Tyreek Hill and Demetrius Harris also scored and Kansas City rolled up 551 yards total offense in the rout."We have an amazing time. It's always fun when you're winning," Harris said with a smile. "It's a lot of fun with the group of guys we've got, and we're just taking advantage of it."That goes for those touchdown celebrations.After catching his TD pass, Harris sprinted about 30 yards to what he thought was a camera well and jumped in as if it was a foxhole. It turned out to be a rough landing 鈥?it was actually some machinery 鈥?though he followed through with his routine by tossing the football as if it was a grenade."Bombs away and everyone get out of the way," he said.Later, Hill caught a TD pass in the corner of the end zone, sprinted to an official and fainted at his feet. Left tackle Eric Fisher ran over to provide CPR 鈥?as if the Chiefs offense needed resuscitation 鈥?and Hill popped to his feet. He did a backflip before racing back to the sideline.Then there was the choreographed dance following another touchdown. Everyone knew the moves except Mahomes, who looked decidedly out of place as he danced along."It's fun. We have a lot of young guys on the team that just have fun playing football," he said. "But they didn't tell me what they were doing, so I was just trying to go along."Yes Reggie Ragland Jersey , the Chiefs (6-1) were having all kinds of fun Sunday night.The Bengals (4-3) were in no mood to laugh.Andy Dalton was held to 148 yards passing with a touchdown and a pick-6, and Joe Mixon had 50 yards rushing, as the NFL's worst defense held Cincinnati to 239 yards of total offense."Going in you have to do a really good job, first of all making first downs, to be able to make adjustments, to be able to tackle, to make plays in the open field, and we didn't do a very good job of that," Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. "It just comes down to as simple as that."As the Chiefs continue celebrating their win, and the Bengals try to pick up the pieces from their second straight loss, here are some of the key takeaways:BANGED-UP BENGALSTE Tyler Kroft (knee), LB Nick Vigil (knee) and CB Darqueze Dennard (shoulder) missed the game with injuries, and they were soon joined by three more crucial pieces. LB Vontaze Burfict limped off with a hip injury, WR John Ross hurt his groin and TE Mason Schreck hurt his knee.MILESTONE WINChiefs coach Andy Reid picked up his 200th win Jarvis Jenkins Jersey , though he deflected any acclaim to the players and personnel who have helped him along the way. He needs one more win to tie Dan Reeves for eighth on the NFL's career list. "He's a great coach. You want to be around him," Hunt said. "He is definitely one of the best coaches of all time."SUNDAY SLOWDOWNWhile the Chiefs improved to 8-3 in Sunday night games, the Bengals were probably miffed when the game got flexed from its noon kickoff. Cincinnati dropped to 3-16 on Sunday night and has now lost nine consecutive games.GETTING DEFENSIVEChiefs safety Ron Parker returned Dalton's interception for a second-half score, giving the Chiefs two touchdowns in a span of 9 seconds. Parker had a feeling it was coming, too. "That's what I was waiting on my whole career," he said. "It was crazy. My daughter asked before the game like, 'Daddy, how come you don't score touchdowns?' So that one was for her."CELEB SIGHTINGSNASCAR star Clint Bowyer raced his way into the next round of the playoffs with a strong run at Kansas Speedway on Sunday. Then he raced to Arrowhead Stadium as a guest of Chiefs general manager Brett Veach. The two met earlier this year and became fast friends, and Bowyer 鈥?a native of Emporia, Kansas 鈥?got the star treatment Sunday night complete with an autographed Mahomes jersey.
