I totally understand why Redskins GM Scot McCloughan lost his cool on this one, if I had millions of dollars invested in a player, their health would be important to me as well.
The Redskins are expecting big thing this season from their top rookie Josh Docston but those plans have been put on hold. Docston injured his Achilles early in camp and will be sidelined for a while. According to FoxSports.com, when McCloughan found out about Docston, he punch a wall in frustration.

Here’s how former Redskins tight end Chris Cooley tells the story.
“I said, ‘What happened to your hand?'” Cooley said. “He said, when I found out about Doctson — which they thought was going to be much worse, the Doctson injury, apparently it isn’t going to be as bad — I punched the wall.”
Achilles injuries are always scary. I wish Doctson a speedy recovery.
