What Palmer (shoulder) is able to do at practice Wednesday figures to be pivotal with regard to the QB's status for Sunday's game against the Broncos, the Cardinals' official site reports. "Wednesday and Thursday would be huge this week," coach Bruce Arians acknowledged in reference to Palmer's Week 5 availability.
