Floyd dislocated three of his fingers a month ago in training camp. His fingers actually broke through his skin at the time, and he had to have surgery. Since then, his status for this week’s season opener against the New Orleans Saints had been in doubt. He was listed as a game-time decision as recently as Friday.
The Cardinals are looking for a bounce-back season from their fourth-year receiver. Floyd broke out in 2013 with 1,054 yards on 66 catches. He also caught five touchdowns that year. His followup season was underwhelming, though. He totaled just 841 yards last year, and was frequently held in check by opposing secondaries.
Arizona will have Floyd, Larry Fitzgerald and John Brown as their top three receivers this week. Brown has been a favorite target of quarterback Carson Palmer, at the cost of Floyd’s targets from the quarterback. A first-round draft pick in 2012, Floyd has two years left on his rookie contract with the Cardinals.
