Carson Palmer: "All systems are go"
It's looking safer and safer to assume that Palmer will play on Sunday. If he plays, it'll be because he's essentially 100% - so he's actually a decent start in what could become a shootout with Dallas. From here:
Quarterback Carson Palmer threw during practice Friday and barring a setback Saturday morning, head coach Marvin Lewis said "all systems are go" if his right elbow continues to respond.
"He did well. We'll see how he is in the morning," Lewis said. "If things continue as they have, I think all systems are go."
Lewis said he threw for all the routes, whether they were short, long or intermediate.
If he plays, upgrade Tony Romo (if you don't see him as the #1 QB this week either way), slightly downgrade Marion Barber (since there's likely to be less garbage time spent with Dallas protecting a big lead), and drop Felix Jones from a low-end flex play (since he'd probably get his share of the garbage-time carries) to your bench. Obviously, a Palmer start would dramatically improve the performance of the entire Cincy offense, so plug 'n' play accordingly.
