Jason Bell: Dak Prescott injury and Alex Smith comeback show what NFL players face

mirror.co.uk:

Last week we saw a reminder of how quickly this game can be taken away from you as a player when Dak Prescott went down. Then, with Alex Smith’s story, making his comeback two years after his gruesome injury, we saw the road to recovery.

I think all players could relate in some way to both of those stories and we saw a big outpouring of support for both guys. With Dak Prescott, you saw a guy who everyone loves because of the way he treats people go down with a really nasty injury.

The main thing you have to deal with when you’re going through something like that is you’re away from your team. Even if you’re around, you’re disconnected.
