Vince Marotta Cardinals’ Michael Floyd undergoes surgery on left hand

Michael Floyd suffered three broken fingers on his left hand in Wednesday’s training camp practice.

He also sent a photo on Instagram of him in a hospital bed with his left hand and forearm bandaged. While this injury will derail Floyd’s quest for better consistency for a time, I don’t see Arizona missing a beat while he is out.

Floyd, who led the team in receiving yards last year, is estimated to miss around four weeks with the Cardinals scheduled to kick off their campaign on September 13 against New Orleans.

With No. 2 receiver Michael Floyd out for as much as 4 weeks, the Cardinals might nonetheless probably maintain six receivers on their last 53-man roster. Larry Fitzgerald will obviously become the number one wide receiver option for Carson Palmer and John Brown will line up aside Fitzgerald in the starting lineup. Brown averaged 14.5 yards per catch as a rookie in 2014, and he has the speed to capably fill the void that Floyd will leave as a primary downfield threat for the Cardinals.

In actuality, Floyd may only miss one game.
