ASHBURN, Va. -- Quarterback Alex Smith has been activated off the physically unable to perform list by Washington’s NFL team.
It is the latest step in a remarkable recovery after his right leg was broken in two places during a game nearly two years ago.
Can you imagine the ovation Smith would have received if he were to come out into the practice fields in from of fans @redskinsrva this week? https://t.co/26udI9c15e

Sunday's move means that Smith now is allowed to participate in Washington’s padded practices when the team can move to that phase of training camp Tuesday.
It could make for an interesting dynamic at QB, where Washington also has Dwayne Haskins and Kyle Allen.
The 36-year-old Smith is signed through 2022.
He hasn’t played since November 2018.
