One of the true negatives of Thursday night games is seeing key players, often stars, unable to participate because of the short turnaround.Thats the case this week for the Arizona Cardinals, whose quarterback, Carson Palmer, remain in the NFLs concussion protocol and is out.With the Cardinals at 1-3, just like their opponent, San Francisco, this is no time to be short-handed. Particularly at that position.Cardinals coach Bruce Arians had been somewhat optimistic about Palmers availability. He even checked with Palmers wife for an evaluation.Well, youre not going to get the real truth from a football player, Arians says. Hes always going to tell you hes ready and hes OK. I was counting on her to tell me what it was really like.Not that Shaelyn Palmer is a doctor. So it will be Drew Stanton behind center.The 49ers have dropped three straight since an opening victory, but they will have their regular signal caller in Blaine Gabbert. Though Gabbert hardly has been a sensation for San Francisco.Short week or not, you cant skip any part of your normal preparation, Gabbert said. If anything, you have to do more, especially from the physical aspect to get your body feeling the way it should by Sunday, which happens to be Thursday this week. And then from a mental aspect ... its just everything is sped up.The disappointing Cardinals (No. 20 Arizona, AP Pro32) are 4-point favorites over the host Niners (No. 31, AP Pro32).CARDINALS, 24-16KNOCKOUT LEAGUE TIPThe Bengals came through for us last week, and we will remain in the Buckeye state this time.
