The Facts:
Sources indicate Palmer doesn't have a problem that will require Tommy John surgery, but there is a problem. The problem, according to a source, is that the elbow is inflamed. It's not the ulnar nerve, which would require Tommy John surgery to repair.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Palmer, who will be out of action for the third time in four weeks when the Bengals face the Steelers in Week 7, visited the New York Mets' team doctor on Monday, knowing that the injury is more familiar to pitchers than quarterbacks. HC Marvin Lewis said the team will take a conservative approach in treating the injury and will let Palmer rest the right elbow until it's safe to play him.
