Here is a thread I have thought about making for a while.

A thread to post non-Denver NFL tidbits and information without creating a new thread for each one.

REPORT: PALMER LIKELY DONE FOR SEASON

Posted by Michael David Smith on October 24, 2008, 8:26 p.m. EDT

Chris Mortensen of ESPN is reporting that Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer is likely to miss the remainder of the season with an elbow injury.

Citing unnamed sources, Mortensen reports that the ulnar collateral ligament in Palmer’s throwing elbow is “frayed.”

However, the Bengals are apparently not planning to put Palmer on injured reserve just yet, leaving open the possibility that he could return if the elbow heals more quickly than thought. Realistically, though, it’s hard to believe an 0-7 team would risk the long-term health of its franchise quarterback by having him through an elbow injury.

At this point Palmer hasn’t decided whether to have Tommy John surgery. His injury is not believed to be as serious as the elbow injury suffered by Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme last season.

Palmer suffered the injury on September 21 and has played in only one game since.

I was reading that Palmer was considering Tommy John surgery. If thats the case he has a long road back. Man he has been snake bitten with injuries.

The Bengals are screwed.

1st round pick LB Keith Rivers is out for the year as well.

One of my buds is a big Bengals fan and the was pretty optimistic a few months back.

Ryan Fitzpatrick is about as exciting as the flu to watch.

I actually saw that play where Hines Ward laid out Rivers. It was on while the SD game was without power. Man it was a nasty block, legal, but vicious. Rivers learned a rookie lesson the hard way. Keep your head up rookie.

I hate the Bengals so I'm really enjoying their season from hell. I especially enjoy not seeing or hearing about Chad Johnson at all
