Hopeful he can return in 4-6 weeks
HC Bruce Arians: Carson Palmer believes he might be able to come back in 4-6 weeks. Have to see what doctors say. If on IR, “definitely” save return spot. (AZCardinals.com)
Nerdy Football Analysis: Initial reports had him eight weeks, so if the second opinion he is seeking Monday verifies the new timeline, it would mean Palmer could return somewhere between Weeks 11 and 13. In the meantime, every Arizona skill-position player’s fantasy stock takes a hit with Drew Stanton under center, including Larry Fitzgerald, John Brown and Adrian Peterson. If there is a positive, it might be that Palmer’s absence should lock Peterson into voluminous workloads for the next month or so.
