Palmer cleared the NFL's concussion protocol Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Palmer was unable to play against the Seahawks in Week 7, but following the Chargers' Week 8 bye, he's trending toward a return to action Sunday against the Falcons. With Mike Williams sidelined by an ankle injury and Keenan Allen dealing with a lingering hamstring issue, it's plausible that Palmer and DeAndre Carter could lead the team's wideout corps this weekend.
