Redskins' Josh Doctson: Won't practice until 100 percent
Coach Jay Gruden stated Thursday that Doctson (foot/Achilles) will remain sidelined until he's 100 percent.
Analysis:
Doctson's placement on the active/PUP list belied the expectation that he'd be healthy at the outset of training camp, but tendinitis in his left Achilles and a separate foot injury will keep him away from the practice field. Considering the season is a marathon -- and not a sprint -- it behooves Washington's staff to take a cautious approach with the 22nd overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft. However, lacking Jamison Crowder's experience in the offense, Doctson is poised to fall even further behind in the competition for slotting in the receiving corps.
