[Bengals] Bengals QB Carson Palmer To Begin Throwing Football

Palmer told reporters Wednesday that he has been throwing a Nerf football recently and will throw a regulation ball at some point in the next few days to see how the elbow is doing. Palmer injured the elbow on Sept. 21 at New York against the Giants and has not played since Oct. 5 at Dallas. Palmer will not throw prior to Sunday’s game at Indianapolis, even though he said two weeks ago that he would throw on Dec. 7. “It'll be a real football. Leather and laces,” said Palmer. “I'll just be starting to throw; you don't jump back on the bike and go off 10-foot jumps. You jump back on the bike and just kind of start 10-, 12-yard throws, 50 percent, 60 percent and so on and then make a determination on the surgery – who knows? – a week, two weeks after that. It depends on how far in the progression I get.”
