Who is Elizabeth Barry, wife of NFL legend Alex Smith? Smith has just returned to the sport after suffering a horrific leg injury in 2018, which left him in a leg brace. His wife, Elizabeth, recently shared an Instagram photo of Smith’s leg brace, which has been remade into a trophy. We take a closer look at the couple and this heartwarming story.
What happened to Alex Smith?
In 2018, Alex Smith ended his season as the quarterback for the NFL’s Red Skins, now the Washington Football Team, because of a gruesome injury.
Smith suffered a compound and spiral fracture to his tibia and fibula during a brutal tackle. The injury became infected after surgery and had to be operated on multiple times. Due to developing life-threatening sepsis, Smith was in grave danger of losing his leg and even his life.
Fast forward two years and Alex Smith is back playing for the Washington Football Team in Week 17.
To celebrate her husband’s hard work in physical therapy and the difficult few years the family has had, Alex Smith’s wife, Elizabeth Barry, had a trophy made out of Smith’s leg brace.
