TCU WR Josh Doctson to miss rest of regular season with wrist injury

Coach Gary Patterson announced Wednesday that Doctson, who suffered an arm injury against Oklahoma State two weeks ago, will miss the final two games of the regular season against Oklahoma and Baylor.

Doctson might be available for a bowl game.

Patterson also said quarterback Trevone Boykin was a “maybe” for Saturday’s pivotal contest against the Sooners.

Doctson was injured in the first half against the Cowboys when, after making a catch, he used his hand to brace himself on the turf and a defender crashed into his planted arm, injuring his wrist. Doctson was scheduled to see a specialist this week and ultimately will need surgery on his wrist.

Doctson was on his way to a potential Biletnikoff Award-winning season before his injury. He’ll finish the regular season with 79 catches for 1,327 yards and 14 touchdowns.

The timing is unfortunate, especially with the Horned Frogs slipping in the College Football Playoff rankings and its two toughest opponents ahead.

If Boykin can’t go, Foster Sawyer would get the nod. He stepped in against Kansas after Bram Kohlhausen struggled. Neither quarterback played very well. Kohlhausen completed 13 of 19 passes for 112 yards and Sawyer completed just 1 of 7, but the completion was a 42-yard touchdown to Shaun Nixon.
