Streeter Lecka/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer’s rehab from his ACL reconstruction surgery is going well.
Palmer tore his ACL in Week 10 and is almost four months removed from surgery. He told reporters Thursday that the injury blues have faded.
“I started being able to sweat and work out again and really feel like I was training for football as opposed to just doing leg extensions and calf raises and things that feel monotonous or silly at the time,” Palmer said. “The last month or so has been fun again.”
Palmer said he throws five days a week and has been running for two or three weeks. The 35-year-old says he’s close to being able to participate in a normal workout, and he will definitely be ready for training camp.
“I’m going to be ready to rock ‘n’ roll by the season,” Palmer said. “Definitely going to be ready by that, definitely going to be ready for camp. And shooting to be getting reps in our mandatory (minicamp) and hopefully some of our OTA practices.”
Before being injured last season, Palmer started six games, throwing for 1,626 yards, 11 touchdowns, and three interceptions.
