Michael Floyd begged the judge in his DUI case to remove his ankle monitor before Vikings training camp began -- because he was worried the device could wreck his ankle if he played with it on.
The good news for Floyd ... the judge gave him the thumbs-up.
Floyd was previously ordered to wear the alcohol monitoring device while on house arrest as part of his sentence for driving while insanely drunk in Arizona during a December incident.
But Floyd -- a WR for the Vikings -- knows running patterns with a giant gadget on your ankle is dangerous so he asked the judge to cut him loose.
