TEMPE, Ariz. — Arizona coach Bruce Arians said Drew Stanton will start at quarterback when the Cardinals play the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
Arians said that if Carson Palmer is in good enough condition, he will be the backup quarterback. But Arians said Palmer, out with a nerve problem in his shoulder, still is unable to throw a pass.
Stanton was the quarterback in Arizona’s 25-14 road win over the New York Giants last Sunday. It was the first time he had played in a regular-season game in four years.
After this week, Palmer will have some time to heal because the Cardinals have a bye next week.
Rookie Logan Thomas will be the backup if Palmer can’t fill that role.
