Only coming back to the game after what he's been through is a major accomplishment!
I'll be very happy for him if he makes it all the way back to the field. I'm proud for him for what he has accomplished this far.
Makes the Redskins 100 times better.
I do not know the medical terminology for it but since I broke my leg in 3 places ( complete breaks not cracks )I have something I call heavy leg , it doesn't lift as far naturally when walking it doesn't react the same as my other leg its almost as though the connection with the brain isnt quite the same ...I have fallen several times because of it , it seems so easy to get my feet tangled up in almost nothing and my leg doesn't react ( that is what causes the fall ) I know I have fallen at least once every hunting season since my accident by a simple twig .......
now my leg was not nearly as bad as his and his walking in that video reminded me of myself , the leg lacks the same coordination as his opposite leg ...its so clear to me ..
I do not believe he will ever play a meaningful down again , its not from a lack of effort but I just do not see him over coming this again mine wasnt nearly as bad but I am 6 years removed from it and still have very real issues

Depends on what caused it. I have it from shrapnel wounds that nicked my perineal nerve in enough places to paralyze it. They transplanted the nerve that turned my foot inward and I retrained it by thinking "turn the foot inward" and it would dorsiflex the foot. It didn't take long for it to become automatic. In Smith's case I didn't read anything about nerve damage.Quote:

That would be the way.Quote:

Apparently not. It's due to muscle loss not nerve damage. Interesting video.Quote:
