TEMPE, Ariz. -- In an abrupt move that stunned his teammates, the Arizona Cardinals released wide receiver Michael Floyd on Wednesday, two days after the 2012 first-round draft pick was arrested on charges of driving under the influence and failure to obey a police officer.Coach Bruce Arians declined to comment on the move other than to say it was a totally unanimous decision by him, team President Michael Bidwill and general manager Steve Keim.Seeing stuff like this happen, I think were all shocked, safety Tyrann Mathieu said. Were all kind of in disbelief.Mathieu described Floyd as like a brother.Hes a good guy, said Mathieu, who overcame marijuana-related problems that got him kicked out of LSU and became a 2015 All-Pro selection. I think we all make mistakes. Youre under the spotlight, youre under a microscope. ... If he ever needs anything, he can reach out to me. Im sure he could reach out to a bunch of guys in this locker room.The 6-foot-2, 220-pound Floyd, who was to become a free agent at the end of this season, was taken into custody early Monday after being found unconscious behind the wheel of his running vehicle at an intersection in suburban ScottsdaleHe was booked and released from the Scottsdale jail later that morning.It was not his first brush with the law. He had three alcohol-related incidents involving police when he was at Notre Dame, including a DUI arrest.The Cardinals mentioned Floyds release without comment Wednesday in a news release that announced several other roster moves.Arians had said Monday that he was gathering information to determine what our options are going forward.The Cardinals made Floyd the 13th pick overall in the 2012 draft after the receivers standout career at Notre Dame.Floyd finished the 2015 season strong, winding up with a career-best five 100-yard receiving games. But he was having a down year this contract season, with several critical dropped passes.He caught 33 passes for 446 yards and four TDs this season.Quarterback Carson Palmer called it a tough day.Mikes a close friend of mine, an offseason golfing buddy, a workout partner, so its tough, Palmer said. I believe in Mike. Im hoping for nothing but the best for Mike and look forward to seeing what he does with the next opportunity he gets.Palmer said it was not his place to say whether the Cardinals decision was a mistake.In five seasons, Floyd caught 242 passes for 3,739 yards and 23 touchdowns. His best statistical season was his second, in 2013, when he caught 65 passes for 1,041 yards, including a 91-yard play.Palmer said the Cardinals will miss Floyds size, speed and big-play ability.Hes a great mismatch, Palmer said. He plays extremely hard. He practices hard. Mike, hes a dominant player. Ive seen it. Weve seen it. Everybody here has seen him, the year he had last year and some of the plays hes made. ... Thats obviously a big void to fill.But Floyds role had diminished as J.J. Nelson got more involved in the offense.There had been widespread speculation that Arizona, with 21 players to become free agents, would not try to re-sign Floyd, instead concentrating on a deal with outside linebacker Chandler Jones.Mathieu, who has had experience in these matters, said hed spoken with Floyd.Everybodys going to have something to say, Mathieu said. Everybodys going to criticize you. Everybody thinks they know what youre going through, so I think the most important thing for him is to believe in himself.Floyds agent Brian Murphy did not respond to a message seeking comment.Game notes Arizona signed wide receiver Jeremy Ross and promoted tackle Givens Price from the practice squad. ... Quarterback Zac Dysert was promoted from the practice squad because the Miami Dolphins were about to sign him. ...

LONDON -- Tyson Fury has vacated his WBO and WBA world heavyweight boxing titles to concentrate on his treatment and recovery from drug use and other personal issues.Furys promotors released a statement early Thursday confirming the decision. It comes in the wake of his second withdrawal from a rematch with Wladimir Klitschko -- scheduled for Oct. 29 -- after being declared medically unfit by his team and following his admitted bingeing on cocaine and alcohol.Im unable to defend at this time and I have taken the hard and emotional decision to now officially vacate my treasured world titles and wish the next in-line contenders all the very best as I now enter another big challenge in my life which I know, like against Klitschko, I will conquer, the British boxer said in a statement.I feel that it is only fair and right and for the good of boxing to keep the titles active and allow the other contenders to fight for the vacant belts that I proudly won and held as the undefeated heavyweight champion of the world.The 28-year-old Fury faced the prospect of being stripped of the titles when the British Boxing Board of Control scheduled a meeting this week and its general secretary, Robert Smith, acknowledged the heavyweights recent issues would be up for discussion.Fury has not fought since beating Klitschko in November 2015 to claim the WBA, WBO and IBF titles. He was stripped of the IBF title soon after beating Klitschko, for not fighting a mandatory challenger.His decision to vacate the WBO and WBA belts could set up a bout between Klitschko and Anthony Joshua to unify the heavyweight titles, with negotiations between the two camps reportedly underway.dddddddddddd.Furys promotional company, Hennessy Sports, released the statement confirming the boxers decision to relinquish the titles out of respect for the governing bodies, the sport of boxing and the heavyweight division.The statement said the break will also allow Fury the time and space to fully recover from his present condition without any undue pressure and with the expert medical attention he requires.In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine this month, Fury is quoted as saying he has been bingeing on cocaine and alcohol to deal with manic depression.Ive been out drinking, Monday to Friday to Sunday, Fury was quoted as saying. Ive taken drugs, cocaine, on many, many occasions for the last six months.In the interview, he also described himself as a manic depressive and reportedly added: I just hope someone kills me before I kill myself.The World Boxing Organization said in a statement earlier this week that Fury had 10 days to show why his WBO belt should not be vacated due to inactivity, breach of contract and performance-enhancing drugs and stimulants.The WBO confirmed it received a report from the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA) in the United States showing that Fury failed a drug test on Sept. 22, and asked Fury if he has requested analysis of a `B sample. The WBO also said it received information from the British board that Fury refused to be drug-tested last month. ' ' '
