Player Notes

June 27, 2009
Carson Palmer, who missed 12 games last year with a partially torn ligament and tendon in his right elbow, admits that he still needs to improve his arm strength heading into the 2009 season, according to the Dayton Daily News.

Our View:Still, Palmer reportedly looked great at the team's recent three-day mini-camp and was accurate on nearly all his throws. While you'd clearly like to see his arm at full strength, this doesn't appear to be too big of an issue at the moment and is something that could be a non-factor by the time Week 1 rolls around.

June 19, 2009
According to the Dayton Daily News, Bengals' quarterback Carson Palmer is denying reports that wide receiver Chad Ochocinco is staying with him at his home while the two work out together this summer. "I just told him that unless he is picking up my mortgage for the months of July and August, he can't stay. He's not living for free. I don't need another kid around the house," Palmer said.

Our View:Ochocinco continues to tell people he is bunking with the Palmers, but it sounds like Carson's wife has put her foot down. Knowing Chad, he will probably show up at the Palmer residence unannounced and cut Carson a rent check for a month. None of this really has anything to do with football, but at least Chad is excited about working with his quarterback, and it truly looks like he wants to be better this season.

May 19, 2009
Carson Palmer feels 100 percent healthy following his recovery from an elbow ailment that spoiled his 2008 campaign, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. He expects to throw 150 passes per day during practice, which was his routine in the past.

Our View:Palmer will have a chance to reclaim his ranking as an elite fantasy quarterback this season. The club lost T.J. Houshmandzadeh to Seattle, but speed demon Laveranues Coles should come through fine as his replacement. Chad Johnson should be healthy this season as well.

May 11, 2009
Carson Palmer believes this has been the Bengals' best offseason program since joining the team as a rookie in 2003, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Palmer said, "Definitely by far it has been the best offseason program since I have been here. There have been no distractions. Everyone has been here to work, and that has been great for us. Everyone has been pushing each other, which is going to translate out onto the field."

Our View:That suggests that Chad Johnson has not been a distraction. Palmer was also pleased that the Bengals ugraded their offensive line with rookie tackle Andre Smith in the draft. Palmer feels that his elbow is 100 percent healthy again, and should be able to bounce back following a disappointing injury-spoiled 2008 season.

March 30, 2009
Carson Palmer feels his elbow is 100 percent healthy, according to ESPN. He said, "I am 100 percent. I have been cleared. My elbow feels great and I just have to keep going and get the small mechanical things that I normally do this time of year."

Our View:Palmer is ready to turn the Bengals around following a disappointing 4-11-1 2008 campaign in which he missed 12 games. Palmer will be held on a "pitch count" all the way through training camp just as a precaution.
