A report last weekend gave a timeline of a week or two before wide receiver Josh Doctson would be ready to come off the PUP list and practice with his Redskins teammates for the first time since injuring his Achilles in the spring.

That’s not a timeline that coach Jay Gruden is publicly subscribing to, however. Gruden said Wednesday that Doctson is “progressing nicely” after he did a bit more work on the side than he had in recent days, but said that there’s no date in mind for when he expects to see Doctson resume a full workload.

“I don’t have any expectations for him whatsoever,” Gruden said, via the Washington Post. “I’m just trying to listen to what the trainers are telling me and how he’s feeling. I don’t know. We’ll just have to wait and see. He’s going to progress slowly, and we’ll take our time with him. When he feels right and the time is right, we’ll push him hard and let him practice.”

Doctson is on the physically unable to perform list and the Redskins can keep him there into the regular season if they don’t feel the time is right for his return before September. That would keep him out of action for at least six more weeks, but the rookie might not be doing much more than observing in the early part of the season as long as DeSean Jackson, Pierre Garcon and Jamison Crowder are healthy.
