TCU fell behind big to Oklahoma State in the first half and lost star wide receiver Josh Doctson in the process.
Doctson injured his left wrist on a catch late in the first half. As Doctson was being tackled, he used his left hand to brace his fall to the turf. But as he went down, an Oklahoma State defender fell onto the wrist, causing it to bend awkwardly.
Doctson left the game and received X-rays at halftime. According to the Fox broadcast, TCU head coach Gary Patterson said the senior is "doubtful" to return to Saturday's game.
Before leaving the game, Doctson hauled in six passes for 64 yards as the Horned Frogs fell behind 28-9 after two quarters.
Coming into Saturday’s game, Doctson led the country with 1,250 receiving yards. He also ranked second nationally with 14 touchdown catches and fourth with 71 receptions.
If Doctson’s injury is serious, it will be a significant blow to the high-powered TCU offense in the second half against the Cowboys and for the remainder of the season. With both teams entering the game undefeated, the winner will drastically improve its chances to win the Big 12 and earn a spot in the College Football Playoff.
