Trojans in the NFL: Jordan Cameron leads the Browns to victory

Every Monday we will recap notable performances of former USC players in the NFL.

Palmer returns in Cardinals’ victory

Former USC quarterback Carson Palmer returned to the Arizona Cardinals’ starting lineup on Sunday.

Palmer was sidelined after Week 1 because of a shoulder injury.

He completed 24 of 44 passes for 250 yards and two touchdowns in a 30-20 victory over the Washington Redskins at University of Phoenix Stadium.

Palmer, in his 12th NFL season, has completed 52 of 81 passes for 554 yards and four touchdowns.

“Physically, I felt good,” Palmer told reporters. “I just need reps, I just need work.”

Cameron leads Browns to victory

Jordan Cameron never got much of an opportunity to show what he could do when he played at USC.

The Cleveland Browns tight end is making the most of his opportunity as pro.

Cameron scored on a 51-yard touchdown pass play in a 31-10 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday at FirstEnergy Stadium.

Cameron had a team-best three receptions for 102 yards.

Cameron, a 2013 Pro Bowl selection in his fourth season with the Browns, has been slowed by ankle and shoulder injuries.

He has nine receptions for 205 yards and a touchdown.

Woods steps up

Buffalo Bills receiver Robert Woods had his most productive game this season in a 37-22 defeat by the New England Patriots at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

The former USC receiver caught a team-best seven passes for 78 yards and his first touchdown.

Woods has 21 receptions for 234 yards his second season with the Bills.

Lee gets back to action

Marqise Lee battled nagging injuries during his final season at USC.

And his rookie season with the Jacksonville Jaguars is off to a similar start.

Lee, sidelined the last two weeks because of a hamstring injury, played in his third game against the Tennessee Titans at LP Field.

Lee caught two passes for 26 yards in a 16-14 defeat by the Titans.

He has 10 receptions for 99 yards.
