Injury report

TE Matt Schobel and WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh were back at practice and participated in individual drills. LT Levi Jones returned for the evening practice.

Palmer watch

Quarterback Carson Palmer is three days from playing in his first professional game, albeit a preseason affair.

How has rookie Carson Palmer done so far?

"I think as far as base plays and base things, everything is good," coach Marvin Lewis said. "What you have to do as a quarterback is be able to redirect protections. And you have to be able to point out holes and who we're setting things around. I think he's handled most of that well."

Highlights

With the offense backed up to the 10-yard line during evening practice, Corey Dillon broke through the right side of the line and ran almost untouched to the 50. ...Had it been a game, and Palmer an opposing quarterback, CB Reggie Myles would have had a blind-side sack.
