Scot McCloughan Punched Wall After Hearing of Josh Doctson Achilles Injury

In an ironic twist, Washington Redskins general manager Scot McCloughan injured his hand after reading an update regarding the health of first-round draft pick Josh Doctson.

ESPN 980's Chris Cooley (via Michael Phillips of the Richmond Times-Dispatch) explained the circumstances behind McCloughan's injury.

"I said, 'What happened to your hand?'" Cooley recalled on the radio. "He said, when I found out about Doctson—which they thought was going to be much worse, the Doctson injury, apparently it isn't going to be as bad—I punched the wall."

Phillips shared a photo of McCloughan's left hand wrapped up:
