The Cardinals saw quarterback Carson Palmer do some throwing on Tuesday, a positive development after a nerve issue in his right shoulder kept him from throwing or playing for the last two weeks.

That progress left coach Bruce Arians hopeful that Palmer would be able to get back to a full workload when the Cardinals return from their bye next week. Palmer is on the same page, saying that he feels “much, much better” although he can’t identify what did the trick in terms of bringing the nerve back on line.

“It wasn’t any one thing, just tons of treatment multiple times per day and it’s really helped,” Palmer said, via the Arizona Republic. “It’s way better now. It’s feeling really good.”

Palmer did add that he’s not throwing the ball with the zip he’ll need to thrive during games, but believes it won’t be long before he gets there. Assuming he’s correct, Drew Stanton’s brief run as a starter should come to an end when the Cardinals travel to Denver in Week Five.
