Josh Doctson's Hamstring Injury Diagnosed as 'Slight Pull,' Is Day-to-Day

Washington head coach Jay Gruden said wide receiver Josh Doctson has a "slight pull" of his hamstring and is considered day-to-day at his press conference Monday.

Doctson, 24, left Sunday's practice early after injuring his hamstring in 7-on-7 drills. 

In his second season out of TCU, Doctson's career has been mired by injuries since Washington took him with the 22nd overall pick in last April's draft. A pair of Achilles injuries cost him all of camp and held him out of all but two games in 2016. He finished with just two receptions for 66 yards on the year.

Washington teammates and coaches have been impressed with him throughout the offseason. Cornerback Josh Norman compared him to a Transformer during a June interview with ESPN980.

"He moves well in and out of cuts," Norman said. "He can give you a fake like he's going up vertical and breaks it back off to come out of his route. You can see that he's improving every day."

Doctson is slated to be one of Washington's top three receivers with Terrelle Pryor and Jamison Crowder. Gruden categorizing his injury as a "slight pull" means he'll likely be kept off of it for a few days and may miss the team's preseason opener. But provided he doesn't reaggravate the injury, he should be fine in more than enough time for the regular season.
