Palmer suffered a concussion Sunday in the fourth quarter against the Rams when his head slammed against the turf on a sack (video here). Drew Stanton replaced him in the game and threw two interceptions.
With Palmer out for the game, it will be Stanton getting the starting nod on Thursday against the 49ers. Stanton is in his third season with the Cardinals. He’s 5 of 15 for 48 yards and two interceptions this season.
