Washington head coach Ron Rivera said he was impressed with how veteran quarterback Alex Smith has progressed in his workouts since returning from injury during a video conference call on Tuesday.
Smith has not seen a football field in over a year and a half after suffering a compound and spiral fracture to the tibia and fibula in his right leg in November of 2018.
Rivera also praised second-year quarterback Dwayne Haskins, saying that he is behind, if not right there, with Smith in knowing the playbook.

Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper said the expectation is for the Cowboys to have three 1,000-yard receivers this year during a video conference call on Tuesday.
If Cooper's expectation comes to fruition, the 2020 Cowboys will become the sixth offense in NFL history to produce three 1,000-yard receivers in the same season.
