The Giants have suffered a shock to their depth at linebacker, especially with starter Jon Beason being sidelined once again after a knee sprain. Mark Herzlich (concussion) and Jonathan Casillas (neck) arealso injured, and Jameel McClain missed time earlier in camp due to a neck injury. Palmer has 24 starts in 94 games during a six-year career and has played in 80 straight games. For Palmer, it's about maintaining a positive mentality and capitalizing on the opportunity to play for Big Blue.
"I've been home for at least six months, and I'm hungry," Palmer said.
