As you can see on the play, it was one of Floyd’s teammates, cornerback Kyle Fuller, who was diving to make the tackle but was pushed from behind, which directed him into Floyd’s knee and leg.

After trainers examined him on the field, the training staff took him to the locker room on a cart. The team immediately ruled him out for the rest of the game.
Injury Updates: Josh Bellamy has been ruled out for #DETvsCHI. Floyd is out with a knee injury. Fuller and Goldman are questionable to return both with wrist injuries.
