Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith exited his team’s Sunday Night Football contest against the Green Bay Packers after sustaining a leg injury in the third quarter.
Smith was hit low on a pass play by Packers linebacker Edgerrin Cooper – who appeared to start stumbling before he hit the Seattle quarterback.
Smith was seen limping off the field after the hit and angrily slammed his helmet on the sideline. Later, he was seen grimacing in pain.
After the injury, backup quarterback Sam Howell deputized. The Seahawks went three-and-out and kicked a field goal to make it a 20-6 game.
According to SNF’s Melissa Stark, Smith went into the Seahawks’ ‘blue tent’ where he was examined by medical staff. He eventually went down the tunnel to the locker room – alongside medical staff and wide receiver Tyler Lockett – before going into the X-ray room.
The Seahawks have listed Smith’s official status as questionable, saying he has a knee injury.
