Arians called the wide receiver play, other than Fitzgerald's, "very average."
And Palmer said he had no concerns about Arians' long-term health.
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Bruce Arians was back at work Wednesday, saying he has been given "an absolute clean bill of health" but otherwise declining to talk about this week's brief hospital stay.
Last year's first-round pick, D.J. Humphries, was inactive all of last season, but now is the starting right tackle.
"No," Arians said. "The worst thing you can do is hold your emotions inside."
Mathieu wasn't quite that optimistic.
After a series of tests, he was released late Monday and was back at his desk on Tuesday.
Branch was chosen over running back Chris Johnson.
"He's as tough as they come," Palmer said. "He's as tough as any player in that locker room, and whatever happened,cheap jerseys from china, happened, and (he) got it checked out. He looks great, as you can see. It's business as usual for him and for us."
And doctors didn't tell Arians to dial down his emotions, which run quite high on the sideline.
Quarterback Carson Palmer said Arians "looked great. ,Wholesale NFL Jerseys... Everything is back to normal."
Arians was asked what was keeping Nkemdiche off the field.
The coach said safety Tyrann Mathieu would play Sunday at Atlanta after missing the past two games with a shoulder injury.
Arians was asked if Nkemdiche's situation was similar.
The big defensive lineman has been inactive in six of the 10 games, although two earlier in the season were because of injuries. He was a healthy scratch the past two weeks.
Arians said whatever happened that led to his hospitalization is "between me and my wife."
"Well, they're wrong on that one," Arians said. "Carson, he put a lot of trust in some guys that haven't come through for him."
"It was the hardest decision," Arians said. "I put it off as long as I could to make sure that we could do the right thing for the team."
Besides, he said, he couldn't tone down his style if he wanted to.
"We thought that would be one of the strengths of our offense," Arians said.
The coach didn't elaborate,Air Max 97, although he did have some criticism for any wide receiver not named Larry Fitzgerald.
Arians was his usual blunt self, taking aim at one point at first-round draft pick Robert Nkemdiche.
"Talent — not an issue," Arians said. "Maturity is. It's just maturing."
"I think I'm ready to go," he said, "but we'll see how the week goes. If I continue to progress well and everything's OK, I'll be out there Sunday."
A team can remove only one player from injured reserve each season,NFL Jerseys Cheap.
It is not something the coach expected.
The coach also had some thoughts on critics who blame Palmer for the team's 4-5-1 record,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys.
"I'm full go brother," the Arizona Cardinals' coach said after practice. "I'm fine."
The Cardinals activated safety Tyvon Branch from the injured list. Branch can practice this week, but can't play in a game until the Dec. 4 game against Washington.
"No," Arians said. "D.J. worked harder."
Branch got the nod because he can play on special teams, an area that the Cardinals have been woefully inadequate most of the season. Arians said five of the Cardinals' core special teams players are injured.
The Cardinals said Monday that Arians felt some discomfort after his return from Minneapolis on Sunday, leading his wife to take him to the hospital. |
