Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Palmer breaks arm and might miss season

GLENDALE, AZ - SEPTEMBER 18:  Quarterback Carson Palmer #3 of the Arizona Cardinals throws a pass during the first half of the NFL game against the Tampa B

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer suffered a broken left arm in Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Rams at Twickenham and could now be out for the season.

Palmer will have surgery when the team returns to Arizona, coach Bruce Arians said after the game, with the head coach adding he expects Palmer to miss at least eight weeks and "maybe the season".

Palmer was injured on an interception in the second quarter after taking a hit from Rams linebacker Alec Ogletree just after releasing the ball.
