Carson Palmer has insisted that his shoulder is feeling "much better" after missing the last two weeks with a nerve problem in his throwing arm.

The Arizona Cardinals quarterback sat out the team's wins over the New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers after the issue left him unable to throw at full strength.

The 34-year-old told The Arizona Republic: "It's better. It's much, much better. It wasn't any one thing, just tons of treatment multiple times per day and it's really helped."

Drew Stanton has filled in while Palmer has been sidelined, completing 411 passing yards, including two touchdown passes.
