Returning to practice were wide receiver Ron Dugans (heel) and safety JoJuan Armour (flu).

Palmer watch

Carson Palmer did not practice in either session Thursday. Doctors will examine him immediately before Saturday night's preseason game to determine if he can play. Palmer has a partially torn tendon in his right foot - an injury that is not considered serious - and is progressing as planned, team spokesman Jack Brennan said.

Rookie free agent Terrell Roberts continued his strong showing on Thursday with two interceptions and one deflected pass in the morning practice.
