DAILY PLAYER UPDATE #3 06/27/2009

Bengals- Carson Palmer
Carson Palmer admitted to reporters last week that his arm strength still needs some work.
Palmer has an idea of how to fix it: "Throw. "It’s just like when a track guy needs to get faster. You don’t do 5,000 squats, you run and run some more. To get your arm in shape you throw and continue to throw. So I will be throwing all summer long as well as in training camp." He missed 12 games last season with an elbow injury.

Cardinals- Edgerrin James
According to agent Drew Rosenhaus, Edgerrin James received an offer from the Cardinals earlier this offseason but turned it down.
James is on the hunt for regular carries. "We will be selective," Rosenhaus said. "We want to make sure for Edge that he goes to a good situation. He would like an opportunity to have a significant role and a great opportunity for playing time. We may wait until right before camp and see what teams have the greatest need. We may wait until during or after camps when teams are dealing with injuries."

Lions- Jon Jansen
Jon Jansen is open to playing at any position on the offensive line for the Lions this season.
Lions coach Jim Schwartz said the team will give him a look at guard, and even center. Jansen seems fine with the uncertaintity of it all. "I want to make myself as marketable as possible," he said Friday. "You've got to play all five spots if you're going to be a backup.

Browns- Joe Jurevicius
The Browns predictably deny that they were negligent in causing and handling Joe Jurevicius' staph infection.
Remember when this was a nice story of a hometown guy taking less money to play for his favorite team? The Browns plan to "vigorously defend" themselves, so it sounds like we're headed for a trial.

Ravens- Marcus Smith
Marcus Smith is the favorite to be Baltimore's fourth receiver this season.
He hasn't impressed the local scribes, but Smith is a good bet for significant playing time this season. The guys in front of him - Derrick Mason, Mark Clayton, and Demetrius Williams - all face injury concerns.
