The Steelers are expected to sign QB Tyler Palko, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Pittsburgh is thin at quarterback with Ben Roethlisberger (concussion) banged up and Charlie Batch (wrist) sidelined. There were rumors that they were looking at a veteran like Jeff Garcia, but the Steelers may see the local hero Palko as a worthwhile project. Palko played with Larry Fitzgerald at Pitt and will be the No. 3 QB behind Big Ben and Dennis Dixon.
Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt was very optimistic Monday that Kurt Warner (concussion-like symptoms) will be fine to start against the Titans Sunday.
Whisenhunt did say that Warner would not have gone back in last week's game, even if the Rams got closer. Warner is expected to have his "baseline test" on Tuesday and the team expects that exam to come back clean. We're tentatively penciling in Warner as a starter Sunday.
NFL.com's Jason La Canfora calls Kurt Warner's absence from the second half of Sunday's win at St. Louis "precautionary."
This sounds right. The Rams were hardly threatening and Arizona's running game was clicking. Had the Rams evened the score late, Warner very possibly may have returned. The Cards were up by at least eight for the entire second half. Warner is a solid bet to return for Week 12 against Tennessee.
Kurt Warner said he thinks he's going to be "just fine" for Week 12 after suffering a minor concussion during Sunday's win over the Rams.
He didn't play in the second half Sunday and was replaced by Matt Leinart. Warner said he hasn't suffered a concussion since 2003 and didn't lose consciousness or memory Sunday, which bodes well for his chances of being cleared for Week 12. He'll undergo neurological tests and will need to pass his baseline tests before suiting up against the Titans. Consider him questionable for now.
Cardinals CB Bryant McFadden left Sunday's win over the Rams with a knee injury and did not return.
The injury is being called a "contusion" right now. McFadden's status for next week's game against the Titans is unknown.
Steve Breaston was held without a catch by the Rams in Week 11.
Breaston didn't even see a target. Larry Fitzgerald (87 yards, one TD) and Anquan Boldin (103 yards, TD) dominated all over the field. Breaston probably would've at least had some production if Kurt Warner hadn't missed the entire second half with a "mild" concussion. He should rebound in Week 12.
Kurt Warner completed 15-of-19 passes for 203 yards and two touchdowns before suffering a "minor" concussion that knocked him out for the rest of Sunday's win over St. Louis.
Warner was replaced by Matt Leinart with :47 left in the second quarter and did not return. He remained in uniform on the sideline for the final two frames, however, and did not appear to be woozy or dazed. The game was tight, but the Cards erred on the side of caution with their 38-year-old quarterback. Still, Warner is no sure thing to play at Tennessee in Week 12.
