The anchor said that we shouldn't too excited even though it looks pretty impressive. I have to agree. He is defintely doing well as far as his rehab goes, but it still wouldn't surprise me to see him miss a couple.

However, the worry that he was going to miss anything more than 4 games is gone from my mind. I'm hoping he's ready for week 1... but week 6 (our 5th game) is still the target date in my mind. Anything better is icing on the cake.

Anyone notice the during one of the runs (the only one I found/watched) Palmer takes off running and out of no one the ball boy comes into the picture right in front of Carson making him slow way down really fast........

If something would of happend...... The guys head would be gone!

I noticed that as well. But instead of killing the intruder (a sigh of relief WAS in the back of my mind) I was impressed by his ability to react quickly.

I know it's not much, but hey!!!!!!

I hope he is ready to start the season. We can't afford to loose to many games at the start of the season

(May 17, 2006) -- Slowly but surely, it is looking as if Carson Palmer is going from the Bengals' chief concern to the Chiefs'.

During the past two days of the Bengals' Organized Team Activities, Palmer was on the field and moving in a way that few would have expected after he tore his left anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament Jan. 8 during a playoff loss to Pittsburgh.

On May 16, according to Bengals witnesses, Palmer zigzagged through four pads to his left, zigzagged back through the same four pads to his right and began rifling the football in the way Cincinnati has become accustomed to seeing. After watching Palmer work out, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said he fully expected his quarterback to be ready for Cincinnati's regular-season opener Sept. 10 at Kansas City.

Four months after this devastating hit, Carson Palmer already is making significant progress.

Then, Palmer will be Kansas City's chief concern.

Today, the Bengals scaled back Palmer's on-field work, knowing there is no need to push him and being sufficiently satisfied with what they already had seen.

Now there are no guarantees, and Palmer always could suffer some type of setback to what was a significant knee injury that required reconstructive surgery. But the early-spring reports are that Palmer will be ready for the regular-season opener.

This means that each of the two marquee quarterbacks that suffered significant knee injuries last season -- Palmer and Miami's Daunte Culpepper -- are on pace to bring mental peace to their franchises. Each franchise is said to be highly encouraged with where each of its quarterbacks is in his rehab.

It's a similar story for Cincinnati's 2005 first-round pick David Pollack, who suffered a sprained ankle during a non-football activity the Bengals declined to identify. Whatever it was, Pollack appears to have gotten away easy.

One team official said Pollack's ankle injury is "minor," and that "if we had a game tomorrow, he would play." Pollack might have done some damage to some of the cartilage in his ankle, but the damage is considered minimal, at worst.

The Bengals' stance on Pollack's injury should quiet any of the speculation that had existed. Pollack's injury update is encouraging to the Bengals and their fans. But Palmer's is virtually exhilarating.

Not that this means much of anything, but I thought it worth mention... On nlf.com right now there is a poll up asking whether Palmer or Culpepper will be ready for the start of the regular season (or both or neither). Palmer leads the vote by a healthy margin, and in second is the "both" option.

The rest of the football nation has the faith.

I was just doin a little trollin on steelers.com and dawgtalk and it seems that Mr Palmer is hot topic once again.! I think the opposition may be gettin a bit NERVOUS!!!! I Love It!

Pittsburgh should be especially nervous about Carsons return, because they know that even though he seems like a really laid back guy, he's going to be looking for some payback for the playoff game loss without him! :bengal:
