TCU ex Josh Doctson, Redskins brush off MRI; WR primed for breakout year

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- An NFL player doesn't get an MRI just for fun, so Josh Doctson undergoing one seemed problematic.

Even though Doctson played every game last season, the memories of Achilles tendon injuries almost entirely wiping out the 2016 first-round pick's rookie year are fresh. But he and the Washington Redskins are sticking with the idea of not being overly concerned.

"Just tuning things up," Doctson said. "Every car gets an oil change."

Coach Jay Gruden said last week's MRI coming back clear meant no reason for alarm, and the young wide receiver reported feeling good and looks the part early in camp.
