- Speaking to Master Tesfatsion via the Washington Post, Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden has said that the coaching staff will look at getting wide receiver Josh Doctson more playing time moving forward.
- After missing the majority of his rookie season through injury, the second-year wide receiver has played 121 snaps in his team’s first five games this year, but he has been limited to half the team’s offensive snaps in four of those five games.
- Through five games, Doctson has shown glimpses of his potential, so it’s understandable that the team wants to increase his role. He’s hauled in all four of his catchable targets for two touchdowns and 90 receiving yards, with 72 of those receiving yards coming on on deep passes that traveled 20-plus yards in the air. When targeting him, quarterback Kirk Cousins has posted a passer rating of 120.4. Ryan Grant (122.5) is the only Redskins receiver to generate a better passer rating.
