Tempe, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) – The Arizona Cardinals’ plans on having Carson Palmer back under center following their bye week have appeared to have hit a snag, as the veteran quarterback was excused from Wednesday’s practice to see a specialist about his ailing right shoulder.<\/p>\n
Palmer missed Arizona’s previous two games prior to the team’s Week 4 bye as he dealt with a nerve issue in his throwing shoulder. Head coach Bruce Arians told reporters that the problem has regressed since Palmer took part in a pair of extensive throwing sessions last week.<\/p>\n
Arians has yet to rule Palmer out for Sunday’s game at Denver, but did say the 12-year pro will have to prove he can throw at full velocity over the next couple of days in order to be cleared.<\/p>\n
Drew Stanton has stepped in for Palmer in Arizona’s last two contests and guided the 3-0 Cardinals to a pair of wins, including a 23-14 decision over NFC West rival San Francisco on Sept. 21 in which he tossed a pair of touchdown passes.<\/p>\n
Stanton did not commit a turnover in either of those two starts while amassing 411 yards on a 32-of-62 completion rate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
