The last time Chargers wide receiver Malcom Floyd played in a game, he was carted off the field with a neck injury that would end his season.
There were questions about whether it would also end his career, a fear that was put to rest this offseason when Floyd was able to return to the field for spring workouts. Floyd experienced no setbacks during those practices, which is a good sign mitigated by the lack of hitting during those workouts. Floyd isn’t worried that things will play out differently once contact is back on the table.
“I’m confident right now,” Floyd said, via U-T San Diego. “I don’t have any doubts in my mind right now. It was just a fluke event.”
Floyd is a success story just for returning from such a severe injury, but he could also help create success for the Chargers on the field if he’s able to play at the same level. Philip Rivers bounced back in 2013 and his chances of holding onto his gains look better with Floyd joining Keenan Allen, Antonio Gates and the rest of the Chargers receiving options.
