Josh Doctson: Lands on Cards' practice squad
Doctson has signed with the Cardinals' practice squad.
Doctson was released by the Jets in mid-May and didn't have a team for fall camp after opting out of the 2020 campaign. The 2016 first-round pick has found a home on the practice squad, however, and could eventually work his way on to the active roster if injuries surface.

Josh Doctson: Let go Friday
Doctson was released by the Jets on Friday.
Doctson opted out of the 2020 season, which could have had an impact on the team's roster decision. The 2016 first-round pick has played in just one game over the past two years, splitting time between the Vikings and Jets after being let go by Washington following the end of his rookie deal.

Jets' Josh Doctson: Will return in 2021
Doctson plans to play in 2021 after opting out last season, journalist Manish Mehta reports.
Doctson will carry a cap hit of $985,000 in 2021. Washington's 2016 first-round pick hasn't lived up his lofty draft-day billing thus far, and he's no guarantee to make the roster in New York, especially if the year off has further eroded Doctson's skills.

Jets' Josh Doctson: Signs with Jets
Doctson has agreed to a deal with the Jets.
Doctson, a first-round pick in 2016, was waived by both the Redskins and Vikings in 2020. He only played seven offensive snaps in Minnesota due to a nagging hamstring injury. He will now look to make an impression with the Jets during the offseason and earn a role catching passes from Sam Darnold.

Josh Doctson: Cut loose by Vikings
The Vikings waived Doctson on Tuesday.
After spending most of the season on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury, Doctson had a chance to make an impact Week 11, only to play seven offensive snaps and not get targeted in the Vikings' comeback win against the Broncos. As the team comes off its bye, Minnesota has decided to wave goodbye to the 2016 first-round pick.

Vikings' Josh Doctson: Active against Denver
Doctson is active for Sunday's game against Denver and will serve as the fourth receiver, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Doctson spent the first two months on injured reserve with a strained hamstring. He'll likely have a small role initially, but he could eventually become the No 3. receiver.

Vikings' Josh Doctson: Activated from IR
The Vikings activated Doctson (hamstring) from injured reserve Friday.
Doctson will fill the opening on the 53-man roster that was created by the Vikings' recent release of fellow wideout Davion Davis. With Adam Thielen (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday's tilt against the Broncos, Doctson's return comes at an opportune time to bolster Minnesota's receiving corps. He could have a chance to unseat Laquon Treadwell for the No. 3 receiver role right away in Week 11.

Vikings' Josh Doctson: Designated for return from IR
Doctson (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday after joining the Vikings for practice.
Doctson won't be eligible to play in Sunday's game against the Chiefs, but he could make it back for Week 10 in Dallas. His odds of earning snaps on offense may depend on Adam Thielen's recovery from a hamstring injury of his own.

Vikings' Josh Doctson: Targeting Week 10 return
Doctson (hamstring) said Thursday that he's targeting a return from injured reserve Nov. 10 versus the Cowboys, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Doctson said he's hoping to retake the field as early as he is eligible. The 2016 first-round pick is nursing a hamstring injury suffered Sept. 11, according to Tomasson. If Doctson is indeed able to get to full health in time to suit up Week 10 against Dallas, he'll likely be restricted to a depth role behind Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs. Laquon Treadwell and Bisi Johnson will compete for the No. 3 receiver gig in the meantime.
