It wasn’t pain but shock that Michael Floyd felt when he first removed his glove after dislocating three fingers in practice last week.
“Things not in the right place,” was how Floyd described it Tuesday. “Things going left and right.”
The wide receiver drew laughs with that, and also how his teammates had a hard time handling the photo he texted to them pre-surgery. “They basically all said, ‘Gnarly,’ ” Floyd noted.
But he’s back around the team now, his left hand casted up, while he sits through a waiting game of his return. Like coach Bruce Arians, Floyd declined to give a timetable, saying only he’d take it “day by day” and listen to whatever instructions the doctors and trainers would deliver.
