Charlotte, NC (Sports Network) - Oakland Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer
left in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers with
a rib injury.
Palmer suffered the injury after receiving a vicious blindside hit from Greg
Hardy. Palmer rolled out to his right, then eluded a defender before he was
wiped out by Hardy, who was flagged for roughing the passer on the play.
Palmer was replaced by Matt Leinart and is questionable to return.
