It sounds like Palmer should be able to return and could be ready for the start of the season, so that is good news. It is always horrible to see someone go down with an injury like that, especially a young, rising star like Palmer. I would be amazed if he is ready for training camp and all that, I've known people that have just torn an ACL before and that kept them from running for 6 months or more, and Palmer's injury is much worse, but then again he does basically have his choice of the best doctors and rehabilitation in the country and he is a determined, professional athlete, so that should help him recover faster than most people.

I noticed that he was allready wearing a knee support brace even before the injury? Then this still happens even with the brace, ****e, Darth Vador anyone? he may need a robot knee after this; i just wonder how it happens to this guy whom has been the main ingredient for the bengals sucess. Then you look at Carr and wonder why he runs for his life, i wquld say give Carr the Iron Man award after setting the NFL record, the man has gotten his *** kicked!

He had a much smaller brace on his knee, and they are now saying he will wear heavier braces on both knees for the rest of his career to help prevent this kind of thing from happening. That will decrease his mobility but he was never a running QB anyways. Another thing with the braces though, if you get hit from the side like that, a heavy brace may prevent your knee from bending inwards, but if 300+ lbs. is suddenly added to your leg, something is going to give, and it may be a hip, ankle, or broken bone next time too.

Bengals | Doctor issues another statement via the team
Fri, 13 Jan 2006 05:59:33 -0800
The Cincinnati Post reports Dr. Lonnie Paulos issued another statement about Cincinnati Bengals QB Carson Palmer's (knee) knee surgery via the team Thursday evening, Jan. 12. "I believe and regret that media reports, based on interviews with me, have misinterpreted my view of Carson Palmer's knee injury. Though the injury was serious, the essential facts remain that his ACL and MCL have been repaired. I would consider this a typical ACL/MCL football injury." He added that his use of "career-threatening" was about the type of surgery in general, not specifically Palmer's. "Comments attributed to me that the knee injury was "devastating and potentially career-ending" were meant to describe such injuries in general, not Carson Palmer's particular case. I was accurately quoted by the Associated Press that my bottom line is optimism regarding Carson's prognosis. With a successful rehabilitation program, he has an excellent chance of being medically cleared for play at the beginning of the 2006 NFL regular season."

This reminds me of an episode of Arli$$ where a young basketball player signed a huge contract moments before suffering a career ending injury...in the pregame.
