Sharrif Floyd is leaving no doubt that he intends to play Sunday against the Raiders.
The Vikings DT missed the last three games after having a small piece of cartilage removed from his left knee but was able to participate in practice on Wednesday and appears to be well on his way to returning.
In Floyd’s own mind he’s not just well on his way to returning. After practice, he vowed that he will be back on the field this week.

The Vikings have managed to keep things rolling in Floyd’s absence, mostly thanks to the efforts of Linval Joseph, but having Floyd back in the mix can’t be a bad thing.
