The quarterback should be OK. One of his wide receivers isn’t.
Carson Palmer was “fine” in practice Friday, coach Bruce Arians said, but wide receiver John “Smokey” Brown found out during a blood test Thursday he has a sickle-cell trait that is causing leg pain. Previously, it was thought Brown had hamstring problems.
Arians acknowledged that the hamstring problems that derailed Brown midseason in 2015 were “probably the same thing” as now.
“We’re investigating how to help him,” Arians said of Brown, who sat out practice again Friday.
Arians did not rule Brown out for Sunday night’s game against the Seahawks.
