NFL official Larry Smith injury

Overview

During an NFL London game at Wembley Stadium between the Houston Texans and the Jacksonville Jaguars, umpire Larry Smith suffered an injury after slipping on a wet playing surface. Smith was unable to put weight on his lower leg and was transported off the field on a medical cart. At the time, the officiating crew continued the game with six officials.

It was later confirmed that Smith sustained a torn quadriceps muscle during the non-contact incident. As a result, he has been ruled out for the remainder of the season. A substitute umpire will be required to fill his position for upcoming assignments.
