The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... Palmer has been steadily adding to his workload during the team’s offseason workouts as he makes his way back from last year’s torn ACL, but the progress wasn’t quite fast enough for him a couple of weeks ago. Palmer was limited to 7-on-7 work at that point and has continued to be held out of 11-on-11 drills that featured blitzing defenders, but that should change at next week’s mini-camp. HC Bruce Arians indicated Thursday that Palmer will be a full participant in the team’s next set of activities. “He’ll get some [11-on-11] work next week,” Arians said. “We had some no huddle [on Wednesday]. We’ll do some more of that, depending upon who’s on defense.”

Diehards Line: As PFT's Josh Alper suggests, Arians doesn’t want Palmer practicing against rookies and other defensive players whose zeal to compete for jobs might make them forget about the prohibitions on touching quarterbacks during practice, but there should be enough periods with established players to make sure Palmer gets a taste of the full team work before training camp. Palmer missed 10 games last season -- three for a nerve injury in his right throwing shoulder and seven games after his ACL injury. Palmer suffered the knee injury just two days after signing three-year extension worth $50 million extension. But if Palmer is good to go come Week 1, fantasy owners might find considerable value in a QB that produced at a high level every week he was on the field last season.
