Doctson put on IR
LOl. Ok then. Leg Injury.
Are you serious?!?!? After only one week of practice?
WTF??? was he injured when the Vikings signed him? Did he have a major injury in his first week as a Viking? This is really bizarre. And what exactly is the injury?

My guess is its a nagging injury that needs time to get better. Considering he needs time to heal AND learn a new play book the best option is to place him on IR and bring him back healthy and up to speed on the playbook. He want doing any good on the active roster if he couldnt participate.
Maybe we'll actually see a pass this week to one of the 4 TE's we have to make up for the WR "deficiency"... ;)

IR with designation to return. IMO, it is a chance for him to learn the playbook and come back mid season and be productive.
You can't make this stuff up. And for his replacement....yep you guessed it - corner back Nate Meadors

Nobody has entered this thread yet with their favorite Doctson moment? Tsk, tsk. Shame on you guys.

Between him and the Kicker Zim cut after a week, the Vikes have had some solid additions lately. Getting us over the hump!

technically he was signed to the practice squad and then released from the PS. So not technically cut.
Honestly, if Doctson is slowed with an injury, this is simply a way to get him time to get up to speed and be ready mid season. Not that I have great hopes for him anyway.
Was wondering how it would take for him to be injured...this exceeds my expectations.
He had to have signed with the injury with the intent of the vikings to sit him withe the designated to return status.
IIRC, there are a limited number of times you can use this designation...and we're going to use it on a #4 WR?
