"I feel like I made a lot of progress. I feel like I’m playing football and not thinking of anything other than what’s going on in the coverage,” Palmer said. “I’m not worried about what’s going on up in front of me. I’m not worried about stepping on anybody. I kind of got the knee thing out of my head. I feel a lot better, a lot more comfortable.” There is still no guarantee as yet that Palmer will be ready to start the season. The current plan is that he must be able to play in the third preseason game in order to make the season opener a legitimate possibility. See, I told you he wouldn't be scared about taking a hit or stepping on anybody.

On another note, I thought Lewis said Palmer just had to play in one preseason game, now they're saying it's gotta be by the third.
