Alameda, CA (Sports Network) - Oakland coach Dennis Allen announced Monday
that quarterback Carson Palmer's season is over.
Palmer suffered cracked ribs and a bruised lung during Sunday's 17-6 loss to
Carolina.
Allen said another quarterback will not be brought in for the regular-season
finale at San Diego.
"No, I think we'll stick with Matt (Leinart) and Terrelle (Pryor), both those
guys for this week," he said. "We'll get both those guys reps in practice
with the first team this week."
Allen did not reveal who would start against the Chargers.
"Our plan right now is to work both of them this week and then we'll see how
practice goes and then later in the week we'll be ready to name a starter," he
admitted.
Leinart replaced Palmer against the Panthers.
Palmer finishes the season with 4,018 yards, 22 touchdowns and 14
interceptions.
