The Facts:
Palmer ran the offense Saturday during the Bengals' first training camp practice, adding to the optimism that his reconstructed left knee will be strong enough to let him start the season opener. How close is he to 100 percent? "There's no way to tell right now," Palmer said. "I'll have a better feel for it next week at this time."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
During the next couple of weeks, Palmer's left knee will get pushed harder than it has in the last few months -- and, at some point, take a hit for the first time, too. Only then will Palmer and the Bengals know whether it's realistic to pencil him in for the opener at Kansas City on Sept. 10. ... At this point, it's fair to say Palmer remains well ahead of schedule in his comeback.
