Washington WR Doctson leaves practice with hamstring injury

ESPN’s John Keim has reported that Washington Redskins second-year wide receiver Josh Doctson left Sunday’s practice with a hamstring injury. The extent of the injury is not yet known, but it will be monitored closely in the coming days.
Doctson played 1,341 snaps in his senior year at TCU in 2015, where he averaged 4.08 yards per route run, the highest mark among 97 college receivers with at least 85 targets. He ended his college career as PFF’s highest-graded wide receiver, with a PFF overall grade of 93.9.
Doctson was taken with the 22nd overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft, but only managed to play 31 snaps before an Achilles injury prematurely ended his season. Doctson started well, and on those limited snaps, he still averaged 2.75 yards per route run, well above the NFL average of 1.28.
Early reports indicate that Doctson has been a weapon in red-zone drills. In his 2015 college season, Doctson produced a WR rating (the passer rating generated by the quarterback when targeting a receiver) of 128.5 in the red zone, the fifth-highest mark among college receivers. This should undoubtedly help a Redskins offense that managed to convert just 33.5 percent of its red-zone passes into either a first down or touchdown in 2016.
