TEMPE, Ariz. Calvin Johnson Jersey . - Carson Palmer said Wednesday that his injured shoulder is feeling no negative reaction to the previous days throwing session and the Arizona Cardinals quarterback said he hopes to be able to go through a full practice by Thursday or Friday.Whether he will be able to play Sunday when Arizona is home against Washington remains to be seen.Ive just got to be able to throw a ball, let loose and throw hard, Palmer said before Wednesdays practice. Thats basically it.Palmer has been out since the season opener with a dead nerve in his throwing shoulder. He finally made progress in bringing the nerve back to life in sessions with a specialist in Colorado last week. He said he probably would fly back to Denver to see the specialist on Friday.Coach Bruce Arians said Palmers backup, Drew Stanton, who sustained a concussion in Sundays loss at Denver, would be doing light tosses on Wednesday.He still has not gotten through the (concussion) protocol but hes cleared to throw, Arians said, so well keep our fingers crossed there.Palmer and Stanton were throwing short passes in the portion of Wednesdays practice that was open to reporters.Rookie Logan Thomas is taking reps with the first team in the absence of Palmer and Stanton. Thomas played the final quarter against the Broncos after Stanton a€” the starter for three games following Palmers injury a€” was knocked out of Sundays 41-20 loss. Thomas was 1-for-8 passing but the one completion, to Andre Ellington, went 81 yards for a touchdown.Its a blessing, its an honour and Im very thankful for it, Thomas said of his chance to play in a regular-season game. Im not thankful for the way it happened, obviously, but it was good to get my feet wet.In case Palmer and Stanton cant play, the Cardinals signed Dennis Dixon to the practice squad on Tuesday. Dixon, who would back up Thomas if necessary, was with the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2008 through 2011, when Arians was the offensive co-ordinator, so hes familiar with the coachs system.The second I actually got the call I already knew some of my go-to plays if I was to get in the game, he said.Arians said Palmer threw about 40 passes on Tuesday. Palmer said he was throwing at 35 to 40 per cent of his full strength.I try to ramp it up a little bit every day, he said.Asked if he would press himself harder to play if he knows Stanton cant go, Palmer said, I really havent thought of it like that.Im just worried about feeling comfortable with the game plan, he said, knowing what were doing, why were doing it and trying to get as many throws in as I can to get comfortable and make sure the nerve stays on in my shoulder.___AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Darius Slay Jr Womens Jersey .

Gilmore Junio stepped aside to let Denny Morrison race the 1,000 metres at the Winter Olympics in Sochi and watched his teammate deliver a silver for Canadas first speedskating medal in Sochi and follow that up with a bronze in the 1,500. But the homecoming in Calgary was all about Junio. One sign read "Gilmore for PM" while another said "Gilmore Junio won gold in the hearts of Canada". "Im pretty surprised and it definitely caught me off guard," said a beaming Junio with Morrison at his side. "When we made the decision within our team it was just such an easy decision to let him skate because he was skating so well. "This was really pleasant surprise. You see this on TV for the hockey players and stuff like that and I never thought Id be walking into one these. Its all because of him," he said with a nod to Morrison. "He makes me look good so Ill ride his coattails for a bit." Morrison, with his silver and bronze medals hanging around his neck, added to Junios accolades. "Its pretty neat how much attention this has gotten and this guy is one of the greatest guys in the world," he said. "He does things like this all the time and this is just another one of those things that Gilmore would do. Darius Slay Jr Youth Jersey. " Junios parents, Gino and Julie, were taken aback by the attention. "Actually we were just thinking to wait outside in the cell parking lot and I had texted him when youre done, text me and Ill pick you up," Gino said with a laugh. "We didnt really expect this. We were overwhelmed with the signs of support for him. This is amazing." Kelly Murray travelled from Red Deer, Alta., to show off her "Gilbert for PM" sign. "Its because what he did for the country was pretty special. Theres not a lot of people who would do that," she said. "He must have put the country first ahead of his own ambitions." Junio still has his ambitions and refused a request from a photographer to reach over and touch Morrisons silver medal. "Ive said I wont touch Dennys medal until Ive got my own. Thats kind of a hockey player mentality where you dont touch the Stanley Cup until you get it," he said. "But from what Ive seen it looks pretty good." Morrison is hoping to share in a future medal ceremony with his teammate. "If it all works out to the very best therell be a team sprint event in 2018 and we can be on the same team and win together that way." ' ' '
