Despite being placed on the Active/Physically Unable To Perform List on the first day of training camp, Redskins head coach Jay Gruden thinks Josh Doctson is close to a return.

Josh Doctson doesn’t want his NFL career to start like this, but for now the 2016 first-round pick is being forced to wait.

Doctson, the No. 22-overall pick in April’s NFL Draft, was placed on the team’s Active/Physically Unable To Perform list on Thursday. That means his injured Achilles just isn’t where it needs to be right now and he isn't practicing with the rest of his teammates.
