Palmer: I won't play Friday night

Though Marvin Lewis declined to say today who will start at quarterback for the Bengals on Friday night at Buffalo, Carson Palmer said today he won't play against the Bills. Palmer hinted Tuesday at sitting out the game.

Palmer did practice this morning but worked out inside during the afternoon practice. The Bengals continued to hold training camp-style, two-a-day practice sessions.

Look for Anthony Wright to start and play the entire first half. Wright, though not announced, is clearly the team's No. 2 quarterback and the almost-certain opening-day starter if Palmer can't go.

Asked after the late-day practice if he were going to announce his starting quarterback for Buffalo, Lewis said, "No."
