The Facts:
Palmer didn't work Saturday, but the rest wasn't because of soreness or swelling. The idea was to rest his reconstructed left knee after taking the bulk of the quarterback snaps in Friday's two practices. The Bengals were extremely encouraged when Palmer was able to strap it up Friday morning after his first major work of the spring in Thursday's double session. "Just keep moving forward and keep preparing the other guys as though he won't be there, but chances are he will be," Marvin Lewis said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The coach went on to suggest his quarterback most likely will be practicing the next time the Bengals take the field July 29 at Georgetown College to open training camp. The coach added, however, that he still doesn't t know if Palmer would be taking the starter's snaps and he indicated Palmer won't play in the Aug. 13 preseason opener against the Redskins at Paul Brown Stadium. And while we won't know about the regular season opener until later this summer, the star signal caller is heading in the right direction.
