Doctson (lower back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest at Tennessee.
EDGE Analysis
Doctson's practice reps weren't impacted Tuesday or Wednesday, but the Redskins tacked him onto Thursday's report with what was termed lower back spasms. Elsewhere in the receiving corps, tight end Jordan Reed (foot/ankle) has been ruled out, and Vernon Davis and Maurice Harris are questionable for Saturday with concussions. If Doctson gets the all-clear this weekend, he would be primed to take advantage of the situation alongside Jamison Crowder and Jeremy Sprinkle.

Doctson was held without a catch on two targets in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
Listed as questionable due to a concussion, Doctson got the start but didn't make any noise. He was coming off three straight games with more than 50 yards, but there isn't much reason to expect success with Josh Johnson under center for Week 16 against the Titans and Week 17 against the Eagles.

Doctson (concussion) is listed as active Sunday in Jacksonville.
EDGE Analysis
Doctson passed through the concussion protocol in short order, setting himself up to face the Jags' second-ranked pass defense. He'll be on the receiving end of passes from Josh Johnson in an offense without Jordan Reed (toe).

Doctson (concussion), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, traveled with the team to Jacksonville, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The news confirms that Doctson has at least some hope of receiving clearance from the NFL's concussion protocol prior to the 1 p.m. EST kickoff. Doctson only practiced once this week, but since he was a full participant in Friday's session, he shouldn't face any restrictions Sunday if he does in fact receive the green light to play.

Doctson (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Jacksonville, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Doctson returned to practice Friday and seemingly has a shot to make it through the concussion protocol before Sunday's game. If he does, he'll square off against Jaguars cornerbacks Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye while catching passes from veteran journeyman Josh Johnson.

Doctson (concussion) returned to practice Friday, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
EDGE Analysis
While still likely to have a designation on the final injury report, Doctson is at least making a late bid to play in Sunday's game at Jacksonville. He didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday.

Doctson (concussion) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Doctson's inability to log any reps during the Redskins' first two practices of Week 15 suggests he still has multiple steps to clear in the NFL's five-phase concussion protocol. With Washington's Week 15 matchup against the Jaguars just three days away, Doctson doesn't seem to be trending toward suiting up, though the Redskins may not make an official call on his status until gameday. In the event Doctson is sidelined, Maurice Harris and Michael Floyd would likely be featured alongside Jamison Crowder (ankle) in most of Washington's three-receiver formations.

Doctson (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports. "I think Josh has a chance to be okay," coach Jay Gruden said. "He's getting checked out by an independent guy and hopefully we'll know more tomorrow."
EDGE Analysis
Doctson entered the concussion protocol in the wake of a Week 14 demolition at the hands of the Giants. Gruden's comments likely indicate Doctson had an evaluation Wednesday to get through one of the five steps in the protocol, but ultimately he'll need to get clearance from an independent neurologist to play Sunday in Jacksonville.

Doctson (concussion) did not practice Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Doctson resides in the NFL's in concussion protocol as of Wednesday, which clouds his status for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. If he's not cleared for the contest, added Week 15 snaps would available for Maurice Harris and Michael Floyd.

Doctson is in the concussion protocol, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
EDGE Analysis
Doctson caught four of five targets for a career-high 84 yards in Sunday's 40-16 loss to the Giants, unexpectedly having one of his better games with Mark Sanchez and Josh Johnson taking snaps. The third-year wideout apparently got concussed somewhere along the way, putting his availability into question for Week 15 at Jacksonville. Maurice Harris and Michael Floyd would be the top candidates to take on vacated snaps, albeit in a nightmare matchup with Johnson under center.
