Indianapolis. But the coach said after a review of the video of the game – in which he said the team overall probably did better than he had originally believed seeing it from the sidelined – his view of his QB was also different.

"He played a whole lot better than I thought he did," Arians said. "A whole lot better."

Palmer said after the game he didn't really have a response to Arians' critique, and Arians said Palmer normally doesn't react when criticized.

"He's ready for practice Wednesday, and that's why it's easy for me to say it, because he don't give a (expletive)," Arians said.

JOHN BROWN LIKELY TO MISS ANOTHER GAME

The Cardinals got out of Sunday's game relatively unscathed. Wide receiver Jaron Brown banged his knee late in the game and admitted he had been worried at first but said he was going to be OK.

The same can't be said for wide receiver John Brown, who missed the Colts game with his lingering quadriceps injury and a comeback for the upcoming "Monday Night Football" game "doesn't look hopeful," Arians said.

"It would have to be miraculous, but we'll get all the way to Monday night," Arians added

Arians wasn't quite as emphatic about Humphries, calling his recovery from a knee sprain "too close."

"He's better, but not anywhere near playing yet," Arians said. "With that injury, you could make great strides in two or three days."

Tight end Jermaine Gresham, who missed the game with bad ribs, was trending positive, as was Iupati.
