While playing for the Washington Commanders against the Houston Texans, Smith even suffered a severe injury. He broke his right tibia and fibula. Following a successful operation, his leg developed a flesh-eating bacterial infection. It posed a life-threatening risk to both his life and his leg. Fortunately, he defied all odds, made a miraculous recovery, and continued playing football for over two years before retiring in 2021. However, he recently provided some really tragic news.

With the addition of this season’s “Sunday NFL Countdown” on ESPN, Alex Smith recently made his comeback to the NFL. During this return, he shared some distressing information with the public. The Chiefs’ official Twitter page also posted the same in a show of solidarity.
Alex Smith, aged 39, has a lovely family comprising his wife Elizabeth and their three children. Regardless of how tough an NFL player may be, receiving tragic news about a family member is always heartbreaking. Unfortunately, Smith found himself in such a situation when his daughter, Sloane Smith, had to be urgently hospitalized in May 2022. She was diagnosed with a large brain tumor, which required a grueling 10-hour operation for removal. At the time, Smith believed the tumor in his daughter had been completely removed.

The Smith family then discovered that the physicians had unfortunately missed a portion of the tumor. He explained, “We found out last fall that they had missed a piece, that there was a little piece in there left over.”
Sloane needed a second, 10-hour operation in the spring to get rid of the last of the tumor. After several medical scans, the family still doesn’t know when or if the tumor will return. They still continue to live in perpetual terror. Elizabeth said despite their struggles, the girls have gained confidence after witnessing their father’s recuperation. They have developed more strength to handle any medical challenges that may arise.
