JOSHUA PALMER NEWS

Remains limited at practice Palmer (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Impact Palmer was also limited Wednesday, but so far there's nothing to suggest that he's is much danger of missing Sunday's game against the Panthers. That said, the wideout will presumably need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid a Week 2 injury designation.

Logs limited practice Palmer (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Impact Palmer was listed on the Chargers' Week 1 injury report as a full participant both Thursday and Friday, but this time around he was listed as limited as he continues to manage a knee issue. In this past Sunday's 22-10 win over the Raiders, Palmer logged an 81 percent snap share alongside Ladd McConkey (67 percent) and Quentin Johnston (67 percent) while catching two of his four targets for 15 yards.

Only two targets in opener Palmer caught just two of his four targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 22-10 win over the Raiders.

Impact Palmer at least had the aura of a No. 1 target as the Raiders seemed to deliberately take away the fourth-year wide receiver during the few times Justin Herbert dropped back to pass in the first half. Both Ladd McConkey (seven) and Quentin Johnston (five) drew more targets than Palmer, but both had schemed looks scattered in throughout a game that saw the teams combine for nearly 50 rushing attempts. A Week 2 matchup against a Panthers defense that allowed 47 points in the season opener could reveal more information on the target hierarchy in 2024.

Poll position for top targets Palmer is in position to be the team's leader in targets this season, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports

Impact This isn't a shocking statement by Popper, but it underscores the relationship that Palmer and Justin Herbert have compared to the collection of newcomers on the roster. Rookie second-round pick Ladd McConkey profiles as the wideout most likely to challenge Palmer for a plethora of targets, but the fourth-year wideout has been Herbert's fourth-most targeted wideout in his young career, a stat that matters significantly given the Pro Bowl quarterback missed critical time in training camp due to a foot injury.

Locked in with starters Palmer has been a regular presence on the first-team offense at training camp, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Palmer, Ladd McConkey and DJ Chark reportedly are dominating WR reps on the starting offense, leaving Quentin Johnston and others to work with the backups. Palmer averaged a career-high 58.1 receiving yards per game last season, including 70.6 ypg from Week 3 onward, but a knee injury and concussion led to seven absences. After some hints of limited participation in the offseason program, Palmer seems to be back at 100 percent for training camp and is regularly catching passes from QB Justin Herbert. There's opportunity for the 2021 third-round pick to enjoy a fourth-year breakout, although he's probably looking at reduced team passing volume relative to prior years now that head coach John Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman are running the show in Los Angeles.

Impact Palmer appeared to have hurt the same knee that he injured in last week's loss to Kansas City. It was a positive sign that he returned and was able to finish the contest, but it is worth noting that two of Palmer's three receptions Sunday occurred before he went down in the first quarter. While no one would have questioned his toughness had he sat out the rest of the contest, it sounds like the receiver was playing at a limited capacity. Another piece of evidence in support of that theory was that No. 3 wideout Quentin Johnston (5-50-0) ended up having his most productive game of the season. The Chargers' first injury report of Week 9 should help clear up Palmer's status ahead of a Monday Night Football clash with the Jets.

OCTOBER 30, 2023 • CHARLOTTEOBSERVER.COM

Back in with knee taped Palmer (knee) has returned to Sunday's game against the Bears, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Palmer had his right knee looked at in the blue medical tent after liming off the field in the first quarter but managed to return in the second quarter after getting the knee taped up. An injury to the same knee had limited his practice participation heading into Sunday's game, so Palmer's playing at less than full health but will try to tough it out.
