Palmer missed Arizona’s Week 5 win over the San Francisco 49ers. His clearance now gives the 36-year-old quarterback a full week of practice ahead of Monday night, when he will be expected to start against the New York Jets on Monday night.
The Cardinals will be happy to return their veteran signal caller.
Despite beating the 49ers on Thursday night, backup Drew Stanton completed only 11-of-28 passes for 124 yards and two touchdowns. He averaged 4.4 yards per attempt and finished with a passer rating of 77.1.
A Pro Bowler last season, Palmer threw for 1,150 yards, six touchdowns and five interceptions during Arizona’s 1-3 start in 2016.
