Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith left Sunday’s game against the Green Packers with an apparent leg injury.
The injury took place in the third quarter as Green Bay held a 20-3 lead. Smith leapt and threw the ball under pressure. Packers linebacker Edgerrin Cooper hit Smith in the lower leg while Smith was still in the air. Smith landed awkwardly and was in pain on the ground after the hit.

Backup quarterback Sam Howell replaced Smith on third down on the next Seahawks play that didn’t result in a first down. Howell remained Seattle’s quarterback on the next Seahawks possession.
Smith, meanwhile, limped to the tunnel and was listed as questionable to return with a knee injury.
