Kelly already missed time earlier this season with a foot injury, and he left Sunday's loss with a hamstring issue. The Colts offensive line has struggled for much of the year.

The Cardinals lost David Johnson earlier this season, and a broken left arm for Palmer could be the final nail in the coffin for the team's 2017 season. Palmer will undergo surgery and miss eight weeks. Drew Stanton wasn't able to score in Palmer's place.
