The Facts:
Floyd will have the results of his MRI sent to other specialists, including Dr. James Andrews, to confirm the initial diagnosis of a strained knee, league sources said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Floyd was injured during Monday's practice. The team initially feared at torn ACL but announced the injury as a strain after Monday night's MRI. Even if the initial diagnosis is accurate, it is expected that Floyd will not return until the regular-season opener against the Texans in the second half of ESPN's "Monday Night Football" doubleheader and possibly not until Week 2 when the Chargers travel to play the Eagles. According to ESPN.com, the reason Floyd is seeking a second opinion is that small tears in ligaments are often difficult to see. Floyd will not personally visit Andrews unless the doctor makes that determination after reviewing the scans. The preliminary results of an MRI performed Monday night prompted the team to report Floyd has a knee strain, which suggests damage to muscle or tendons rather than ligaments stabilizing the joint.
