Bengals QB Palmer will miss another game

CINCINNATI -- Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer is going to miss another game because of his sore passing elbow.

Coach Marvin Lewis said Monday that Ryan Fitzpatrick will start against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, giving Palmer another week to rest his right elbow. It'll be the third game that Palmer misses this season because of the injury.

Palmer sat out a 26-14 loss to the Jets on Sunday, then stayed in New York to be examined by Dr. David Altchek, who works with the New York Mets. Palmer was hoping that the second opinion he got from Altchek would be more encouraging and allow him to get back on the field.

The Bengals have the worst record in the NFL at 0-6, one of only two winless teams. The Detroit Lions are 0-5.
