Doctson was released from Arizona's practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Doctson has been on the Cardinals' practice all season and missed some time after testing positive for COVID-19, and he's now been let go by the team. The former 2016 first-round pick hasn't seen NFL action since 2019 with Minnesota.

Doctson was restored to the Cardinals' practice squad from the practice squad COVID-19 list Monday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Doctson tested positive for the virus last week but has rejoined the practice squad now that he's cleared the health and safety protocols. The 2016 first-round pick hasn't seen game action since 2019 when he appeared in one game with Minnesota.

Doctson has tested positive for COVID-19 and will be placed on the Cardinals' practice squad-COVID list, Howard Balzer of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Doctson spent most of his offseason with the Jets before getting released and signing onto the Cardinals' practice squad. The former first-round pick from 2016 likely won't be activated to Arizona's roster anytime soon, barring substantial injuries to their team's receivers.

Doctson has signed on with the Cardinals' practice squad.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Doctson was released by the Jets on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Doctson plans to play in 2021 after opting out last season, Manish Mehta, formerly of the New York Daily News, reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Doctson has elected to opt out of the 2020 NFL season, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Doctson had been in line to compete for outside wide receiver snaps with Breshad Perriman and rookie second-rounder Denzel Mims. The 2016 first-rounder didn't catch a pass in his lone regular-season game with the Vikings last season.

WR FA
Doctson has agreed to a deal with the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
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.

The Vikings waived Doctson on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Doctson is active for Sunday's game against Denver and will serve as the fourth receiver, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.
