Cardinals

According to Cardinals HC Bruce Arians, veteran QB Carson Palmer had already worn out his arm last year by the team season started from all the throwing he had done during the summer.

ā€œHeā€™s one of the hardest working dudesĀ Iā€™ve ever been around, so we had to really pull the reins back on him,ā€ Arians said on the Rich Eisen Show.” ā€œHeā€™ll overwork all the time. Last year, he came in to September, he had already worn his arm out by overthrowing all summer. We found a nice regimen, (by) November and December he was playing as good as heā€™s ever played.ā€

Chargers

Chargers QB Philip Rivers mentioned during a radio interview on Thursday that he’s hoping the recent report that first-round WR Mike Williams could be out for the year (NFLTR) with a back injury is just a “premature report.

ā€œHopefully thatā€™s a premature report and he can find a way to get healthy and get out there with us this year,ā€ Rivers said, via ESPN’s Eric D. Williams.

ā€œYou first hate it for him if that is the case, because who wants to start off their career like that,ā€ Rivers added. ā€œThen obviously heā€™s a guy that was going to be a factor for our team. But on the positive side — all respect to Mike, and I know he would know how I feel about him — but heā€™s never caught a pass for us yet.

ā€œAnd weā€™ve got a great deal of confidence in the receivers we have. And thankfully, we have a heck of a group. And if that ends up being the case, I donā€™t think youā€™ll see anybody hang their head and say, ā€˜Oh, what are we going to do now.ā€™ā€
