The Vikings lost one of their go-to playmakers Sunday when running back Dalvin Cook suffered a torn ACL.

But Minnesota’s offense will also get a playmaker back this week. Wide receiver Michael Floyd will be eligible to play in his first game with the Vikings after serving a four-game suspension.

Floyd, who spent the first five seasons of his career with Arizona and New England, joined the Vikings as a free agent this offseason.

“I think he’s just another added weapon, another guy who can make plays,” said Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen. “He’s a good locker room guy, and we love having him around. It’ll be good to have him back at practice.”

Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer said Monday that he wasn’t sure how much Floyd would be used in his first game back. “We’ll see how practice goes this week, and we’ll continue to work forward with that,” Zimmer said. “At this point, we’re just trying to get better.”
