The Facts: While Floyd stopped short of declaring a decision outright — "Coach will keep you updated," he said with a coy smile — it seems, following the latest medical checkup, one has been made. Floyd is expected to play in 2014, team and league sources said, after a Sept. 15 neck injury threatened his career.

Diehards Line:A major hurdle in his slow, steady recovery was whether the veteran, now going on his 11th year, would be at greater risk of a spinal injury if he continued playing. The uncertainty was something that weighed on Floyd, who has wanted all along to continue his career but also needed to consider life after football. Last week, he met with Dr. Robert Watkins. "The doc said. ... I'm at risk just like anybody else," Floyd said Monday. "There's not really a worry. ... I'm feeling good. I think I feel like my old self." The Chargers are about midway through their nine-week offseason workout program. Be it lift or run, Floyd said he's doing everything. We'll see if that continues as the workouts ramp up in coming weeks.
