Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Floyd is back in the lineup for the team's Week 12 game against the San Francisco 49ers. Floyd makes his return after dealing with a hamstring injury that kept him out one game.

Floyd suffered the injury during the Week 10 win over the Seattle Seahawks. He didn't practice at all last week and sat out last week's Monday Night Football game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Floyd returned to practice this week, getting in a limited session on all three days. Despite being listed as questionable, Floyd was always expected to return in Week 12.
Floyd had a slow start to the season after dislocated fingers kept him out most of training camp, but he’s been on fire recently, catching five touchdowns in his past four games. In nine games, Floyd has 27 catches for 432 yards and five scores.
The Cardinals' offense has been cruising even with Floyd and John Brown banged up with various injuries. Now that both receivers are getting close to 100 percent, Carson Palmer's arsenal looks even more imposing down the stretch. It could be a long day for the 49ers' hapless defense.
