Bengals QB Carson Palmer underwent an examination Tuesday in Houston for evaluation of his progress since his Jan. 10 knee surgery. The exam was conducted by Dr. Lonnie E. Paulos of Houston’s Methodist Sports Institute, who performed the January surgery on Palmer.
“Dr. Paulos has told us that Carson is progressing just as we hoped he would,†said Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis. “Carson still has much rehab work ahead, obviously, but at this point he is on schedule for our goal of having him ready to open the 2006 season. This is encouraging news for everyone in our organization.â€
Palmer has returned to Los Angeles, where he has been doing rehabilitation work at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic. The Bengals medical and training staffs are overseeing his rehabilitation, and plans are for Palmer to shift his rehab base to Cincinnati at a date yet to be determined.
Palmer suffered two torn left knee ligaments (ACL and MCL) on the second Bengals offensive snap of the Jan. 8 Wild Card playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Paul Brown Stadium.
