At least it isn't up to Dr. Chou to make that decision. I'm hoping it isn't anything structural.
Prayers for Floyd.

He's doing fine," Chargers coach Mike McCoy said after the game, via The Associated Press. "All the tests right now look good. It's great for the organization to go out and get a win for Malcom. I'll leave it at that and update you as time goes on."
Which means hes probably dead?

Officials should have thrown flag for hit on Floyd

Chargers receiver Malcom Floyd exited Sunday’s win over the Eagles with a potentially serious injury. It happened on a play during which the officials should have thrown a flag.
Per a league source, Floyd was still in a defenseless posture when he was hit in the head by Eagles linebacker DeMeco Ryans. An easy rule of thumb in this regard is that, if the pass the player drops after the contact is deemed to be incomplete, it means the player didn’t have the ball long enough to finish the catch. Which means that he didn’t have the time to protect himself against a blow to the head or neck.
Even though Floyd dipped his head into the contact, it’s strict liability. If a player in a defenseless posture is struck in the head, a flag should be thrown.
Floyd’s role in putting himself in harm’s way could help Ryans avoid a fine. But the failure to throw the flag won’t keep the officials involved from having their performance for the day downgraded.
Peter King reported during Football Night in America that Floyd was cleared to fly back to San Diego with the Chargers. His status otherwise is unknown.Hashtag thepowderblues

Chargers | Malcom Floyd to accompany team home
Sun, 15 Sep 2013 15:11:02 -0700
Updating a previous report, San Diego Chargers WR Malcom Floyd (neck) will not be hospitalized overnight in Philadelphia, according to a source. He will fly back to San Diego with the team. Floyd left the Week 2 game against the Philadelphia Eagles due to a neck injury, and he was taken by ambulance to a local area hospital.
FANTASY TIP: Floyd's status for Week 3 and beyond is still murky, but this is a great sign that Floyd did not suffer a more serious injury.
