While Geno Smith has been playing through an elbow injury for the past several weeks, it appears that the situation was a bit worse than most people knew.

In a since-deleted post on X on Saturday, Smith posted a picture of his injury that showed bruising and inflammation spanning from the top of his forearm through his bicep.

Smith suffered the injury back in a Week 11 loss against the Los Angeles Rams and has been playing through it ever since, including a Thanksgiving loss to the San Francisco 49ers as well as Thursday’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Despite the injury, Smith performed admirably in the two losses, especially Thursday night’s game against the Cowboys, doing everything in his power to potentially come out with the win.

Smith threw for 334 yards with three touchdowns and an interception in the loss, looking as if that elbow was working just fine against one of the best defenses in the NFL.

The reigning NFL Comeback Player of the Year hasn’t missed a game this season and has had a decent follow-up to last year’s breakout campaign.

Smith has thrown for 2,918 yards to go along with 15 touchdowns and nine interceptions this season.

Starting linebacker Jordyn Brooks left the game in the 2nd quarter with an ankle injury, with the team initially listing him as probable to return in the 2nd half. Once the X-rays came in, he was downgraded to doubtful and was out for the night, replaced by Devin Bush. Towards the end of the game, rookie running back Zach Charbonnet’s final touch of the night was the failed 4th-and-1 run. He left the game with a knee injury, and DeeJay Dallas filled in the rest of the way.

Pete Carroll provided updates on both players on Friday, and while the Charbonnet news seems reasonably optimistic, there’s still a big question mark concerning Brooks’ ankle sprain severity.
