The Facts:
With a bulky brace protecting his rebuilt knee, Palmer took the hits, avoided the rush and threw three first-half touchdown passes Monday night in his first preseason game of the year. By the time the Bengals jogged to the locker room with a 34-7 halftime lead over the Packers, Palmer had convincingly made his case that he'll be ready to start the season opener.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Unless his left knee swells up in the next few days, Palmer will indeed be on schedule to start in Kansas City on Sept. 10, his goal all along during a grueling comeback from an injury that had overshadowed the franchise since a playoff loss to Pittsburgh. ... We'll watch his progress closely this week, but as of now, all systems appear to be go for Palmer.
