Sharrif Floyd has yet to see the field on a regular basis for the Minnesota Vikings during the regular season and the wait to see him back in uniform may be a lot longer than some fans may have hoped for.
The team announced today during a presser with head coach Mike Zimmer that the defensive tackle has undergone surgery on his knee in order to remove some cartilage. Zimmer referred to the procedure as a ‘clean up’ but did not offer a timetable on the big man’s return.
However, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press confirmed that on Twitter:
Zimmer not sure how long Sharrif Floyd out after knee surgery

However, that won’t stop Mike Zimmer from pushing forward and preparing for the Minnesota Vikings week 3 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
