CINCINNATI — Quarterback Carson Palmer will be sidelined for the Cincinnati Bengals' game Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Palmer has missed the last four games because of an injured right elbow. He has been doing rehabilitation on the elbow, hoping to play again sometime this season.

The Bengals returned from their bye week Monday, and Palmer said nothing had changed in his comeback plans. Coach Marvin Lewis said Palmer will skip practice during the week to work on the elbow. Ryan Fitzpatrick will start in his place against the Eagles.
