The Minnesota Vikings released wide receiver Josh Doctson on Tuesday, marking the second time in months that the former Redskins’ first-rounder has been cut from an NFL team.
Doctson’s opportunity with the Vikings didn’t go as planned. The 26-year-old was placed on injured reserve Sept. 12 with a hamstring injury, causing him to miss the next nine games. He returned for the Vikings’ 27-23 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 11, but recorded just seven offensive snaps. He was held without a catch.
The Redskins released Doctson just prior to the start of the regular season after an unimpressive training camp.
