Bengals' quarterback Carson hurt his left knee

NFL Carson Palmer has a torn anterior crucial ligament; when he was tackled on his first pass last Sunday in Cincinnati's NFL playoff game against Pittsburgh. Kimo von Oelhoffen hit Palmer's leg causing it to bow inward at the knee, when quarterback hit the ground and stayed down for several minutes while the medical staff looked at his knee. The NFL Bengals were forced to go on without quarterback Carson Palmer, who was the most responsible for their AFC North championship. Quarterback Carson Palmer led the club-record 32 touchdown passes and completed 67.8% of his throws Palmer started all 16 games this season and sacked no more than two times in any game.
