Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Floyd reportedly suffered three dislocated fingers in practice on Wednesday and is expected to miss 3-5 weeks.

A source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Media that Floyd broke fingers on his left hand and could miss the season opener against the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 13. The report later was amended to say the fingers were merely dislocated, and Floyd is expected to miss 3-5 weeks, according to Kent Somers of AZCentral Sports.

Floyd, a first-round pick in 2012, has 157 receptions for 2,444 yards and 13 touchdowns in his first three seasons. But coach Bruce Arians has not been satisfied with his consistency and challenged Floyd on Sunday, saying the 25-year-old receiver "should be a big-time player" at this point.

With Floyd out, third-year receiver John Brown is expected to see more passes opposite aging star Larry Fitzgerald.
