Mike Zimmer responds to Sharrif Floyd's critical social media post

Sharrif Floyd didn’t mince words when airing out his frustrations with the Minnesota Vikings in an Instagram post last Saturday.

The 26-year-old defensive tackle, whose last game with Minnesota came during Week 1 of the 2016 season, vented about the way he felt he was treated by the organization after he tore the meniscus in his right knee and later underwent surgery.

Floyd shared a photo that was a collection of statements made by Mike Zimmer where the Vikings coach referred to the tackle as “kind of out of sight, out of mind” and said he was “kind of used to it,” regarding Floyd’s absence ahead of the Green Bay game.
