It has been reported by a handful of outlets now that Early Doucet will indeed undergo surgery for a sports hernia.
The timetable for recovery has been placed at three to six weeks.
In the meantime, it is expected that undrafted rookie and camp standout Stephen Williams will step into the three spot, followed by rookie Andre Roberts and Max Komar.
With the issue of punt/kick returning still up unresolved, Doucet’s absence will likely prevent Breaston from returning to the role to avoid opportunities for further injury among the top receivers.
