Carson Palmer has missed the Cardinals last two games with a damaged a nerve in his throwing shoulder, but the 34-year-old believes he is set to return.
When asked about his status with the 3-0 Cardinals, Palmer replied to ESPN with a text message and said that he should be all systems go for the team’s Week 5 game with the Denver Broncos.

"I'm fired up to be 3-0. I'll definitely be ready against Denver," Palmer told ESPN.
"It's better. It's much, much better,"
Palmer has missed the Cardinals last two games with the injury, but Arizona hasn't skipped a beat behind Drew Stanton. The Cardinals are one of three undefeated teams remaining in the NFL after topping the division rival San Francisco 49ers 23-14 on Sunday.

Stanton has been very good for the Cardinals in relief of Palmer and has completed 32 of 62 passes for 411 yards and two touchdowns. The most important stat for Stanton is that he hasn't turned the ball over in Arizona’s two games. Palmer is an 11-year veteran and was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2003 NFL draft.
The Cardinals will serve their bye week this week and then will take on the 2-1 Denver Broncos in Mile High Stadium.
