Joe Joe 08 Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I heard today from a reputable source that Palmer will be out for at least the first 6-8 games of the '06 season and that the Bengals may decide to keep him out the entire season at that point... Depending upon their record and his progress. Has anyone else heard any "insider" info such as this? I hope to God it isn't true, but everytime I try to discount it... I think about Kimo applying 1000 lbs of pressure to Palmer's knee.The reason I was given for not releasing this to the public was because the Bengals didn't want to lose ticket sales.

bengalindian Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Nope. Everyone around Carson has been pretty quiet about it, so I'm gonna take all "insider" information as rumors until Marvin or someone makes an official statement.

Sox Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Interesting...your first post ever talks about a "source" that states Palmer might miss all of 2006. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABengalsFan09 Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 We've heard nothing close to that. His rehab is going well out here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, I am a diehard Bengals fan and I wanted to puke when I heard this. Like I said, I pray it isn't true and was just hoping to hear different from people on this board.

Stripes Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I've heard a little of everything... some people claim he'll be back for training camp, and some say he won't play the season period. I suspect his rehab will place him somewhere in the middle of those two extremes, and if it does get that late into the season, depending on our wins and losses, I wouldn't object to holding him out the whole time. He's the franchise, handle him like a valuable antique.Trust me, I am a diehard Bengals fan and I wanted to puke when I heard this. Like I said, I pray it isn't true and was just hoping to hear different from people on this board. In any event, welcome to the board.

I can't wait until Carson rips up the Steelers D. With the Carson injury, Steelers winning the bowl and UK playing horrible... I really need some good sports news.

ShulaSteakhouse Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Believe me if an injury like that was going to take that long, as your "source" stated, some doctor or athlete or person out there would pipe up and clear the air, if not a few of them. It's not mystery surgery, people tear ligaments all the time, and his kneecap would be healed well before that time regardless.He'll get some time in preseason, they'll be cautious, and he'll do non-contact passing drills in training camp most likely. This is assuming there are no setbacks. If he can't go at all in preseason, then week 4-6 is more likely, and maybe as much as 6-8.This is why Doug Johnson is not exciting anyone. Seriously, I'd rather have Kitna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairOnFire Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 This is why Doug Johnson is not exciting anyone. Seriously, I'd rather have Kitna. I thought Kitna's recent comments in the Dayton Daily News made it clear that Doug Johnson was signed to do battle with Krenzel. If you missed it, Kitna said he informed the Bengals of his intent to test free agency, said he hasn't received an offer from the team yet, and asked that they couldn't give him a week or two to look for a starting job elsewhere before attempting to replace him.

ShulaSteakhouse Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Yo! I was reading the Sporting News, and it was talking about a website for Carson's blog, where he updates his rehab. Check it out.carsonpalmer.typepad.comHasn't been updated since 1/19 (is he alive!?).His "blog" seems awful contrived, a lot of formal kissing up to the fans. Love the guy, but geesh keep it real man. Completely non-insightful, unless I'm missing something. The link's worth noting/posting, no problem there, just kind of a cheesey PR ploy though it seems like.Makes you wonder if indeed he's not coming back until mid-season. Conspiracies abound.This is why Doug Johnson is not exciting anyone. Seriously, I'd rather have Kitna. I thought Kitna's recent comments in the Dayton Daily News made it clear that Doug Johnson was signed to do battle with Krenzel.

I just don't know where or how they would get an upgrade to Johnson at this point, outside of a draft pick. And that doesn't seem reasonable.So far all signs point to them being confident Palmer will be back sooner than later I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekshank Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Here's a post I made 5 days ago.Here's a rough estimate of an ACL rehab timeline. It's obviously not an exact science... and Carson hurt his MCL too... but it gives you a decent idea of what to look for.- 3-5 days: Initial physical therapy evaluation.- 14 days: Achieve 90 degrees of flexion range of motion and full extension.- 4 weeks: Achieve 120 degrees of flexion range of motion.- 4-6 weeks: Achieve full flexion range of motion at 135 to 140 degrees.- 10 weeks: Initiate straight plane running activities, no cutting.- 12-16 weeks: Initiate early cutting activities and return to sport activities.- 3-4 months: Completion of formal physical therapy intervention and initiation of maintenance program.- 6-8 months: Full return to sports participation unrestricted.Carson will be at the 4 week mark on Wednesday... which means even if things are going slightly ahead of schedule, there's still no story here. Talk to me around the beginning of April. If he's cleared to do cutting activities, it will be a good sign... and something the Bengals will definitely want publicized.If we aren't hearing reports about him running and cutting in April... well, that will be a very bad sign. Until then, there's really nothing newsworthy to talk about.I know we want to know what his status will be in September... but it's just not possible right now. It's only been a month. We'll won't know his status for the season opener until August... and we won't have enough info to even speculate with until April/June. It's tough... but we need to be patient and relax.

Spain Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Let me put this to rest,No one can know. Do you know why? Because it all depends on wether he twaks it again. I have torn my knee and they will heal as long as you dont reinjure it. Now that is luck and how careful Palmer is. With his work ethic I wouldnt worry about it. But bad luck can touch. So if all goes well and marvins track record, Palmer will probably be brought back after the first bye, so he can get two weeks of snaps.

ArmyBengal Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Just found this on KFFL:Bengals | Palmer could wind up on the PUP listSun, 12 Feb 2006 15:50:57 -0800Chick Ludwig, writing for the Sporting News, reports it appears it will be very difficult for Cincinnati Bengals QB Carson Palmer (knee) to be ready for the first game of the 2006 season. Palmer has two torn ligaments (ACL and MCL), a dislocated kneecap and cartilage damage in his left knee. Ludwig speculates Palmer could start the season on the PUP list meaning he would miss at least the first six regular season games. Place whatever worth you want to, but just something I saw...Oh yeah, it sounds pretty sh*tty in my book !!!WHODEY !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just going to try not to think about it until training camp opens.I'll wait and see until training camp before I lose any hope of Palmer not being there, but hopefully, we can sign a good FA QB, such as Billy Volek, to get us past the hump. I think if we have someone with Volek's caliber, then we will be fine. Our defense just has to step up and start winning games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
