Palmer completed eight of 13 passes for 86 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in Saturday's 24-14 preseason win over the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

Palmer found John Brown on a 28-yard score to cap off an impressive 12-play, 90-yard drive for the first points of the evening for either club. The veteran exited the game after the conclusion of that possession early in the second quarter, having helmed three drives overall. The plan coming in had been to limit Palmer's snaps overall, so the relatively early exit (for a third preseason contest) wasn't surprising. Palmer is expect to sit out the Cardinals' fourth and final preseason contest against the Broncos next Thursday in order to ensure his health for the Sept. 10 season opener against the Lions.
