A league source tells the Union-Tribune San Diego that Malcom Floyd's (injured reserve) ankle injury is only a sprain, not a break.
Floyd was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, but it wasn't because his injury was major. With only two games left in the season, he simply didn't have enough time to get healthy. His sprain is likely of the "high" variety. Although both Floyd's yards per game and yards per catch dropped precipitously this season, he'll be back with the Chargers in 2013 after signing a four-year extension in September.

Malcom Floyd - WR - Chargers

Chargers placed Malcom Floyd (ankle), Ryan Mathews (collarbone), and OL Reggie Wells (undisclosed) on season-ending injured reserve.

Floyd suffered the injury in the Week 15 blowout loss to the Panthers. There are still no details available, but the medical staff must have determined that he would be out at least two weeks. Floyd is sure to be back in San Diego after signing an extension in late September, but his fantasy value took a hit following the emergence of Danario Alexander as Philip Rivers' go-to target down the stretch. Floyd finishes the season 27th in fantasy points with a 56/814/5 stat line over 14 games. Robert Meachem, a $25.9 million mistake, could get a two-game reprieve as the starter opposite Alexander.

Malcom Floyd - WR - Chargers

Malcom Floyd is listed on the Chargers' Week 16 injury report with an ankle issue.

Floyd sustained the injury during Sunday's loss to the Panthers, but we didn't notice him leave the game. It's possible he has a minor sprain that swelled up overnight. Regardless, Floyd won't be a viable fantasy option in Week 16 against the Jets' No. 2 pass defense.

Malcom Floyd - WR - Chargers

Malcom Floyd caught two passes for 39 yards in the Chargers' Week 15 loss to the Panthers.

He secured his only two targets. The Chargers' offense was putrid against Carolina, unable to give Philip Rivers time to throw outside the numbers and instead consistently settling for checkdown completions. Floyd could be a solid week-to-week WR3 if San Diego were able to move the ball like it has in seasons past, but as is he'll be a very weak play in Week 16 against the Jets.

Malcom Floyd - WR - Chargers

Malcom Floyd caught three passes for 10 yards with a touchdown in the Chargers' Week 14 win over the Steelers.

Floyd took a backseat to Danario Alexander and even lost targets to replacement slot man Michael Spurlock. He still salvaged his day with a three-yard touchdown midway through the third quarter. Floyd now has four touchdowns in his last six games, but hasn't topped 67 yards since Week 5. He'll be a weak WR3 option against the Panthers in Week 15.

Malcom Floyd - WR - Chargers

Malcom Floyd caught four balls for 61 yards in the Chargers' Week 13 loss to the Bengals.

He was targeted seven times. Floyd has clearly fallen behind Danario Alexander (10 targets) in San Diego's passing-game pecking order and flatlined as no more than a low-end WR3 option, week to week. Through 12 games, Floyd is on pace for 68 catches, 1,020 yards, and five touchdowns. The Chargers head to Pittsburgh next.

Malcom Floyd - WR - Chargers

Malcom Floyd caught four passes for 65 yards and a touchdown in the Chargers' Week 12 overtime loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Floyd caught all four of his targets and found the end zone for the third time in four weeks from 21 yards out in the second quarter to open up the game's scoring. In four games since Danario Alexander's Week 9 debut on the stat sheet, Floyd has averaged a weekly line of 4.5/60.75/0.75, which is good enough for WR3 status. He and the Chargers will host the Bengals in Week 13.

Malcom Floyd - WR - Chargers

Malcom Floyd was held to 67 yards on four receptions as the Chargers fell to the Broncos in Week 11.

Floyd was held in check by Champ Bailey's shadow coverage aside from a 38-yard fourth-quarter connection on a 50:50 sideline jump ball from Philip Rivers. Floyd, at 6-foot-6, got the better of Bailey on that one play. Otherwise, it was a quiet day for Floyd, who appears to be taking a backseat to more talented youngster Danario Alexander in San Diego's new-look passing game. Consider Floyd a WR3 option only in Week 12 against the Ravens.

Malcom Floyd - WR - Chargers

Malcom Floyd has taken over "Z" receiver duties in the San Diego offense.

Floyd had previously been lining up as the "X" wideout, while Robert Meachem was handling the "Z" spot. Meachem has since been sent to the bench with Danario Alexander taking over Floyd's "X" role. Floyd played "Z" exclusively in Week 10 and caught six passes for 63 yards and a score. He'll continue to line up next to Antonio Gates to create matchup problems for the opposing defense. This move just further solidifies Meachem's spot on the sideline and DX's ever-increasing role in the offense.

Malcom Floyd - WR - Chargers

Malcom Floyd caught six passes for 63 yards with a touchdown in the Chargers' Week 10 loss to the Bucs.

Another productive day for Floyd. Owners got a scare early on when he took a helmet underneath his facemask and left with a jaw injury. But he missed just a few plays and ended up tying for the team-lead with seven targets. As usual, a healthy Floyd has been a productive one. Through nine games, he's averaging 4.3 catches for 63.5 yards and has scored three times. Floyd gets Champ Bailey and the Broncos next week.

Malcom Floyd - WR - Chargers

Chargers WR Malcom Floyd left Sunday's Week 10 game against the Bucs in the first quarter with a jaw injury, but quickly returned.

Floyd made a beautiful 22-yard grab on the left sideline between three defenders, but paid the price. He may have taken a helmet underneath his facemask. Floyd didn't miss much time though, returning for the Chargers' third offensive series.

Malcom Floyd - WR - Chargers

Malcom Floyd caught four passes for 48 yards and a touchdown in San Diego's Week 9 victory over the Chiefs.

Floyd caught all four of his targets and found the end zone for the first time since Week 1. He remains a weekly lock for four-to-five catches as San Diego's No. 1 receiver, but the lack of end zone visits hampers his fantasy upside. Floyd is on pace for career-highs in catches (66) and yards (1,018) in 2012 and remains a WR3. The Bucs are up next in Week 10.

Malcom Floyd - WR - Chargers

Malcom Floyd caught four passes for 43 yards in the Chargers' Week 8 loss to the Browns.

It was about the best line Floyd owners could have expected in a matchup with Joe Haden. Also, the wind was swirling and the rain was driving, leading to a run-heavy approach from the Chargers. Floyd did lead all wideouts and tight ends in targets with seven. He'll have a much better shot for production against the Chiefs in Week 9.

Malcom Floyd - WR - Chargers

Malcom Floyd caught five passes for 60 yards against the Broncos in Week 6 on Monday night.

Floyd was shadowed by Denver's Champ Bailey for much of the contest, but he took advantage of Chris Harris on his first catch for a 25-yard gain. Floyd battled a groin injury during the practice week but seemed to be unhampered by the issue. He and Antonio Gates are clearly Philip Rivers' favorite options in the passing game, but Gates was the one that did all the damage on Monday. San Diego has a Week 7 bye before heading to Cleveland in Week 8. Floyd will have to contend with Joe Haden.

Malcom Floyd - WR - Chargers

NFL Network's Albert Breer confirms the Chargers expect Malcom Floyd (questionable, groin) and Eddie Royal (questionable, hamstring) to play on Monday Night Football against the Broncos.

The Union-Tribune San Diego already reported Floyd was likely to play, and so too is Royal in a limited capacity. Floyd is worth a look as a WR3 in the game, although we're concerned with the Chargers' pass game due to LT Jared Gaither's absence. Philip Rivers may struggle to get the ball downfield to Floyd. It could be a Ryan Mathews-Antonio Gates kind of night for San Diego.
