The answer is no.

Arizona announced on Friday that Palmer has been ruled out for the Week 3 NFC West matchup and Drew Stanton will get the start in his place.

“They said my shoulder was stretched out and I landed on the nerve, shut the nerve down,” Palmer said, via the team’s website “It’s just one of those things you’ve just go to wait and hope it wakes up. There’s no, ‘It needs 48 hours. It needs six days, it needs 12 days.’ You just don’t know.”

There is a chance that Palmer could serve as the team’s backup if he looks okay in the pre-game warmups, but for now head coach Bruce Arians is saying that Palmer cannot even throw the ball.

“He cannot throw,” Arians said. “He’s improved dramatically but he still can’t throw.”

Palmer does appear to have a decent chance at returning in Week 4.
