RICHMOND, Va. -- Washington Redskins rookie receiver Josh Doctson wore a walking boot on his left foot this morning -- but a team spokesman said it's not an indication of a setback. Doctson has worn the boot off and on to protect his Achilles, but it was the first time he's worn it at practice. The Redskins had a walk-through this morning.

Multiple sources said earlier this week that Doctson, their first-round pick, would miss at least one and possibly two weeks. The Redskins say they're being cautious with his Achilles, making sure it's 100 percent so they don't risk a worse injury.
