The Facts: Palmer has been doing extra workouts in the dead of the offseason -- those weeks after minicamp and OTAs, but before training camp -- since he entered the NFL. This summer is no different, with the QB finding a spot to throw at a local high school near his house north of San Diego. And on that point, Palmer is adamant – it’s no different, even though this time around he is coming off the ACL tear in his knee that prematurely ended his 2014 season. “I’m not even thinking about my knee,” Palmer said. “I’m still rehabbing just to be on the safe side of things but I don’t need to be at rehab. I’m full go in the weight room, full go on the field, and until it’s brought up, I haven’t thought about what I’m not doing because I’m doing everything I was doing.”
Diehards Line:
As it was last year, Palmer has brought wide receiver John Brown to southern California to live with him and work out. And as it was last year, Palmer feels he is throwing well, sharpening his mental game – and feeling no problems with his knee. The group isn’t large. Palmer knows July is the month where players spend time with family, and workouts often come within the framework of home. That’s why Larry Fitzgerald runs his workouts in Minnesota, because that is home. It’s why Palmer is in California. In addition to Brown, TEs Troy Niklas and Ifeanyi Momah have been around, as has quarterback Drew Stanton, and Palmer said Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd might still take part. Always a perfectionist, Palmer doesn’t want to worry about the details of the passing game when camp opens July 31. "Once training camp gets going, there is no excuse to make mistakes,” Palmer said.
