Alex Smith appears to be heading for a return to the field in Washington’s must-see game on Sunday night.
Smith is working with the first-string attack today in practice, his first time since suffering a calf injury that forced him to miss the last two games.
After missing yesterday’s training, Smith has indicated that he thinks he is close to a comeback and appears to be close enough to be the starter against the Eagles.
Behind Smith on the depth chart will be Taylor Heinicke, who replaced Dwayne Haskins after Haskins’ bench last week.
If Washington wins Philadelphia on Sunday Night Football, Washington will win NFC East. If the Eagles win, the Sunday afternoon Cowboys-Giants winner wins the division.
