Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Floyd underwent surgery after injuring his fingers on his left hand during practice on Wednesday.
The Cardinals also announced Thursday that they waived guard John Fullington, who has a knee injury, and released tight end Ted Bolser.
Floyd tweeted Thursday that the procedure went well and thanked fans for their support. He also posted a photo on Instagram from a hospital bed with his left hand and forearm bandaged.
According to reports on Wednesday, Floyd suffered three dislocated fingers and was expected to miss 3-5 weeks. It’s unclear after the surgery whether he will be able to return in time for the Cardinals’ season opener on Sept. 13 at home against the New Orleans Saints.
Floyd, a first-round pick in 2012, has 157 receptions for 2,444 yards and 13 touchdowns in his first three seasons.
With Floyd out, third-year receiver John Brown is expected to see more passes opposite aging star Larry Fitzgerald.
Fullington and Bolser were part of the Cardinals’ practice squad last season and signed futures contract in January.
