Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer reportedly is unlikely to play another game in the 2008 season.

According to ESPN.com, Palmer will also delay a decision on whether to have surgery to repair a "frayed" ligament in his right throwing elbow.

Palmer's injury is to one portion of the ulnar collateral ligament and he has been told that Tommy John surgery would repair the problem with positive results.

Despite the Bengals' 0-7 record going into a bye weekend, the team has no plans to place Palmer on injured reserve, which would officially end his season, ESPN reported.

Palmer injured the arm against the New York Giants on Sept. 21. He has played only once since — against the Cowboys on Oct. 5 — before he began seeking numerous medical opinions.
