Palmer cleared to practice

Quarterback Carson Palmer was medically cleared Saturday to practice at training camp. He will take 40 percent of the practice snaps tonight. Five players were designated by coach Marvin Lewis for the active physically unable to perform (PUP) list, and they will be able to return to practice once cleared. The five are: tailback Chris Perry, defensive tackle Sam Adams, defensive end Jonathan Fanene, wide receiver Kelley Washington and offensive tackle Adam Kieft. Offensive lineman Kyle Takavitz (UC) was designated on the non-football injury list. He suffered a non-football injury and had surgery a week ago, Lewis said. Lewis also said linebacker Odell Thurman (four-game NFL suspension) would not be in Georgetown, Ky., today and had been excused for an undisclosed period of time to tend to family business.
