NFL: Jets land WR Doctson

The Jets signed Josh Doctson on Saturday to fill out their woeful group of wide receivers. The 2016 first-round pick of the Redskins spent his first three seasons in Washington, where he had 81 receptions for 1,100 yards and eight touchdowns in 33 games.

The 6-foot-2, 205-pound 27-year-old was often injured before being cut last summer by the Redskins. Doctson landed with the Vikings, but had zero catches in one game last season.
