Malcom Floyd hopes to continue NFL career

Malcom Floyd has said that he is optimistic of resuming his NFL career as he continues to recover from a neck injury.

The San Diego Chargers wide receiver damaged a spinal disc in the second week of the regular season after taking a hit from two Philadelphia Eagles defenders.

The 32-year-old, who still has to sleep wearing a neck brace, told U-T San Diego: "I definitely want to play again. I definitely do. I'm getting better steadily, and if my body allows me to play, I'm going to do it.

"I'm really excited for our team. I want to add some more firepower. If not, then yeah, I need to hang it up. It won't do anything positive. It won't help out me or the team."

Floyd joined the Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2004.
