Doctson sustained an injury to his wrist in the first half of the Horned Frogs’ 49-29 loss at Oklahoma State on November 7. While there was a few offseason talk of how the Horned Frogs and Baylor had taken over the Big 12, TCU is 3-7 against the Big 12’s elite with one solitary win apiece over Oklahoma (2014), Oklahoma State (2014) and Baylor (2012).

Yesterday, TCU head coach Gary Patterson declared star wide receiver Josh Doctson out for the rest of the regular season due to a wrist injury. Despite falling to No. 18 in the rankings, there could be a way for the Horned Frogs to shoot back up into the Top 10.
Doctson set TCU’s single-season records this season with 79 catches, a national-leading 1,337 yards and 14 touchdowns.
As if trying to salvage the season against two heated rivals weren’t tough enough, the TCU Horned Frogs will have to do it without all-everything receiver Josh Doctson.
Doctson was scheduled to see a specialist about the injury, Patterson said at his weekly press conference Tuesday.
Before getting hurt, Doctson had at least 129 yards receiving with multiple touchdowns in each of the six previous games.
Boykin awkwardly turned his right ankle in last Saturday’s 23-17 home victory over Kansas and didn’t play after halftime. He began his college career at Wyoming where he had 35 receptions for 393 yards and five touchdowns before the Mansfield, TX native transferred to TCU after the 2011 season.

Docston is not the only key player for the Frogs who is injured at the moment.
