Josh Doctson to IR

I mean if the doctors cant figure it out, maybe he needs to schedule an appointment here a Warpath E.U.

Our history speaks for itself and our faculty list is top notch. Can someone reach to Josh to schedule an appointment?

i emailed his gmail and gmailed his email.

once he shreds the faxes we should have a dial tone.

This team simply has no luck with wr's in the early rounds. Personally I hate drafting wr's in the 1st round. But anyhow, glad they're shutting him down. He shouldn't do anything for the next 3 months except rehab and rest.

well, not unexpected. I won't lose sleep on this.

even though it didn't work out this year, there's no reason to think this pick will be a waste (at least not yet).

give the kid a year to get things sorted out...he'll come back more mature next year anyway.

Many a great WR took a year or two to get things rolling....Jimmy Smith and Keenan McCardell come to mind.

Hopefully he'll turn out to be that kind of quality.

I like the part where he says he heals fast.....
pffffttttttt

Sucks but that's football, guys get hurt. Oh well.

Holy hell, the sky is falling in this thread too. Take it easy chicken little Chico. Just because it's an injury that puzzles doctors now doesn't mean it won't heal and doesn't mean it's permanently debilitating.

We've known this was coming. Let's hope he gets well. If he's still not better come February then there's cause for alarm, and it will change our plans in free agency. No need to panic yet.

​Nonsurgical Treatment Options
Most cases are successfully treated non-surgically although this is time-consuming and frustrating for active patients. Treatment is less likely to be successful if symptoms have been present more than six months. Nonsurgical management includes nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, rest, immobilization, limitation of activity, ice, contrast baths, stretching and heel lifts.

If symptoms fail to resolve after two to three months, a formal physical therapy program may be of benefit. An arch support may help if there is an associated flatfoot. A cast or brace to completely rest this area may be necessary. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy and platelet-rich plasma injections​ have variable reports of success. Nitroglycerin medication applied to the overlying skin may be of benefit.

Achilles Tendinitis (http://www.aofas.org/footcaremd/conditions/ailments-of-the-ankle/Pages/Achilles-Tendinitis.aspx)

Just give it some time. Lots and lots of time.

Oh well... if he bounces back, and plays well next year it will be like an extra 1st round pick IF he pans out and plays up to potential... otherwise i really hope it doesnt go down as a wasted 1st rounder

He'll be fine, I know people think he's Malcolm Kelly Jr. He's not, get over it.

How many Achilles injuries have been rehabbed in a quick manner? This isn't surprising, and one injury doesn't mean he's injury prone. I like the move, now instead of trying to rush it he can focus on being fully healthy for next year.
