TEMPE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Cardinals wont have Carson Palmer when they face the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night.Coach Bruce Arians said Wednesday the quarterback remains in the concussion protocol and has not been cleared to play. Arians said Palmer would not make the trip.Carsons made great progress, but theres no way Im going to take any chances with him, Arians said. He argued with me a little bit, but he has not cleared.Backup Drew Stanton will make the 13th start of his 10-year NFL career. but first since 2014. He went 5-3 as a starter that year when Palmer went down with shoulder and knee injuries.Arians said he is very optimistic Palmer will be back for the Cardinals next game, a Monday night matchup at home against the New York Jets on Oct. 17.Palmer was injured when his head slammed to the turf on a sack by Aaron Donald late in Arizonas 17-13 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.The loss of the 36-year-old quarterback is a big blow to a struggling team that entered the season with the highest of expectations, but has sputtered to a 1/3 start.Arizona is 31-13 with Palmer at quarterback.Stanton signed a two-year contract to return to the Cardinals in the offseason. He has been with Arians since the coachs days with the Indianapolis Colts. Stanton was a backup for the Detroit Lions for three seasons.Stanton has appeared in 30 games, completing 54 percent of his passes for 3,021 yards and 12 touchdowns with 18 interceptions.In 2014, the former Michigan State quarterback completed 55 percent of his passes for 1,711 yards and seven TDs with five interceptions before he went down with a season-ending knee injury. He was intercepted twice, one on a desperation pass as the game ended, in relief of Palmer on Sunday.Stanton might best be remembered for his sideline gyrations during Andre Ellingtons 48-yard touchdown run that sealed a victory at Seattle last season.Zac Dysert was promoted from the practice squad this week to be the backup to Stanton.Hes got about six weeks in. Hes a very bright guy, Arians said. He has a package he knows very well and is very comfortable with and well use that package if we have to use it.Dysert was a seventh-round draft pick of Denver out of Miami (Ohio) in 2013. He was the Broncos No. 3 quarterback in 2013 and was on the Denver practice squad in 2014. He spent time with Chicago, Houston, Buffalo and Miami, but never was on the teams active roster. He has not taken a snap in an NFL game.Arians said tight end Darren Fells (shoulder) and defensive tackle Ed Stinson (toe) also would not make the trip.The Cardinals placed running back Chris Johnson (hernia) on injured reserve Tuesday. That moved Ellington to the No. 2 running back position behind David Johnson. Arians said Ellington would relinquish his role as kickoff returner, with Brittan Golden, also just up from the practice squad, taking his place.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFLAkiem Hicks Bears Jersey . Reassurance came from Paul Tesori, his caddie and close friend whose newborn son is in intensive care in a Florida hospital. "Paul sent me a text this morning, just told me he loved me and wanted to go out and fight as hard as I would any other day," Simpson said Sunday after doing just that. Tom Waddle Jersey . Roman Josi had a goal and an assist to lead the Predators to a 4-1 victory over the Dallas Stars on Monday night. http://www.bearsfootballpro.com/Authentic_Mike-Ditka_Bears_Jersey/ . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Dick Butkus Womens Jersey . It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he was playing. Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing. Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days. Khalil Mack Jersey . The 28-year-old from Calgary matched his career best after missing just one shot in his two rounds of shooting in the mens 10-kilometre sprint competition. Smith finished in 23 minutes 15. MILAN -- Roma forward Edin Dzeko has a point to prove.He wasnt the striker Roma hoped for after it signed him from Manchester City in August 2015. Last season was full of disappointment.But hes finally showing his ruthlessness, with two more goals as Roma beat Napoli 3-1 on Saturday in a top-of-the-Serie A clash.Dzeko, who also scored twice for Bosnia and Herzegovina midweek, has seven goals in eight league appearances this season -- just one less than he scored in 31 appearances in his debut Serie A campaign.He tops the scoring charts, one ahead of Juventus forward Gonzalo Higuain, Inter Milans Mauro Icardi, and AC Milans Carlos Bacca.Ive had preseason with the squad, I feel good, I feel everyones confidence in me, Dzeko said when asked what had changed from last season. Im happy for myself and for the team which won a difficult match.The criticism was normal, it wasnt my best year. For that reason I wanted to do better this season and at the moment its going good.Dzeko netted his first goal two minutes from halftime when Mohamed Salah stole the ball off Kalidou Koulibaly at the byline and swung in a cross for Dzeko to volley home.He doubled his tally nine minutes after the interval, placing a header into the bottom left corner from Alessandro Florenzis free kick.Koulibaly atoned for his earlier error by rising highest at the near post to head in a corner off the opposite upright, and getting Napoli straight back into the game.But Salah sealed matters four minutes from time, beating the offside trap to race forward and fire in off the base of the left post.It was Romas first away win of the season, and the capital club leapfrogged Napoli into second spot, five points behind Juventus.Napoli is two points further back after its first league defeat at Stadio San Paolo since May 2015. It was clearly missing striker Arkadiusz Milik, who has had a great start to the season but was ruled out for six months after tearing a ligament on international duty.It was also the first time Napoli has lost two successive league matches under Maurizio Sarri.The positive thing is that the team didnt give me the feeling that they are spent and dead, Sarri said. Its clearly a difficult period but we hhave to remain calm.ddddddddddddNapoli hosts Besiktas in the Champions League on Wednesday, a day after Juventus visits Lyon.---JUVENTUS 2, UDINESE 1In contrast to Dzeko, Paulo Dybala had a great debut season at Juventus but struggled at the start of the current campaign.However, he scored for the third successive match, in all competitions, netting twice as his side fought back from surprisingly going a goal down.Luckily I managed to score the second goal too. Im happy for myself and for the team, but we still have to improve, Dybala said.We have to think about ourselves and continue like this, without worrying about the other teams. Plus we still have to play Roma and Napoli, so well wait and see.Dybala equalized two minutes from halftime, curling a delightful free kick into the top right corner, and scored what was to prove the winner from the penalty spot in the 51st after Rodrigo De Paul tripped Alex Sandro.It was former Juventus coach Luigi Delneris first match in charge of Udinese after replacing Giuseppe Iachini during the international break.Udinese, which is one point above the relegation zone, stunned the Juventus Stadium into silence on the half-hour following a series of errors by the hosts. Hernanes failed to control a poor pass from Patrice Evra and Jakub Janktos effort slipped through Gianluigi Buffons hands.Buffon also made a rare error last week, when playing for Italy, almost costing his team the match before Daniele De Rossis late penalty rescued a 1-1 draw against Spain in their World Cup qualifier.---PESCARA 1, SAMPDORIA 1Pescara played half the match with 10 men but managed to cling on for a valuable point and could even have won had Gianluca Caprari not had a penalty saved by Sampdoria goalkeeper Emiliano Viviano.Pescara defender Andrea Coda was sent off in the final minute of the first half following a second yellow card, with the score at 1-1 after teammate Hugo Campagnaro struck at both ends.Pescara moved a point off the relegation zone ahead of the rest of the weekends matches. Sampdoria is two points above the bottom three. ' ' '
