Cardinals' Carson Palmer: Ruled out for Week 5

Palmer (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game in San Francisco, Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic reports.

Analysis:

The development isn't a surprising one with a concussion in tow and only three days between contests. Palmer will thus hand off quarterback duties to Drew Stanton for this divisional matchup against the 49ers, while Zac Dysert serves as Stanton's backup. In a media session Wednesday, head coach Bruce Arians said that he's "very optimistic" of Palmer returning in Week 6, so he may ultimately miss just one game as a result of the ailment.
