The Facts:
Palmer said a report by ESPN Friday night that he will not play the rest of the season is false. "That's not true. I don't know where he (ESPN's Chris Mortensen) got it," Palmer said before Sunday's game. "I just found it out last night (Saturday)."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Palmer has an inflamed elbow. He missed his fourth game in eight starts. Ryan Fitzpatrick made his fourth start Sunday in place of Palmer for the Bengals in their 35-6 loss to the Texans. Mortensen, citing unnamed sources, reported Palmer had ligament damage in the right elbow, his throwing arm. HC Marvin Lewis, on the field at Reliant Stadium, also said the Mortensen report was not true. On Friday, following practice, Lewis told reporters Palmer would likely not play against Jacksonville Nov. 2 before the bye week Nov. 9. The soonest Palmer would play is Nov. 16 at home against the Eagles. Palmer said after Sunday's loss that he would try to come back after the bye.
