TEMPE, Ariz. -- Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer attended team meetings Tuesday morning as he continued to recover from a concussion he suffered in Sundays loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but the possibility he plays Thursday at San Francisco is still up in the air.Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said Palmer was going through the offense mentally; the quarterback missed his second straight day of practice on Tuesday. Arians told Bay Area reporters that Palmer looked good after meeting with him on Tuesday morning. After practice, Arians said Palmer is still in the concussion protocol and continues to take tests.Arians was asked if theres enough time for Palmer to get cleared through the NFLs concussion protocol in time for Thursdays game.I think theres a chance, Arians said.Arians wont be the one deciding if Palmer can fly to the Bay Area on Wednesday, when the team leaves Arizona. Thatll be decided by team doctors, Arians said.But on Tuesday, the Cardinals made a move that signals a good possibility that Palmer may not play: Quarterback Zac Dysert was promoted from the practice squad to the active roster. Arians described Dysert as very accurate and said he picked up the offense really quick.The Cardinals now have three quarterbacks on their roster, with Drew Stanton as Palmers backup.Palmer suffered the concussion on a hit late in the fourth quarter. He made strides Sunday night, Arians said, but didnt practice Monday.Arizona put safety Tyvon Branch and running back Chris Johnson on injured reserve Tuesday after both suffered groin injuries in Sundays loss.Arians said both players will undergo hernia surgery, but he wasnt sure when those procedures will take place.

Colorado was poised to sweep a doubleheader and a three-game series, match its season-high five-game winning streak and move within eight games of first place in the National League West for the first time since Aug. 7.Instead, the Dodgers scored three runs in the eighth and torched closer Adam Ottavino for five runs in the ninth. The final four scored on Andrew Toles first career grand slam, giving the Dodgers a 10-8 win and leaving the stunned Rockies to wonder in amazement how things could go so wrong so fast.A day off undoubtedly benefited the Rockies, who went 12-16 in August and will continue a nine-game homestand against the Diamondbacks, who were also off Thursday.The teams have not played since June 26. The Rockies are 8-5 against the Diamondbacks this season and 3-4 at Coors Field.Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado will try to carry his torrid August into September. He set a franchise record for RBI in the month with 36 -- Andres Galarraga set the old record of 33 August RBI in 1996 -- and hit 10 homers along with a .356/.433/.702 slash line.Arenado was actually in a slump during the month, a tailspin he escaped with a two-homer, six-RBI game Aug. 21 against the Chicago Cubs after working late the previous evening with batting practice pitcher Garrett Carson watching video and swinging in the indoor cage at Coors Field until Arenado finally determined he was overstriding.In his final 10 games in August, Arenado went 21-for-40 and hit .525/.578/1.100 with six homers and 17 RBI.I feel like about a month ago, I was kind of changing things and not thinking different pitches, but now Im thinking middle (of the field) and staying positive and trusting myself, Arenado said. Good things are happening.The Diamondbacks have been better on the road (31-34) than at home (25-43). They split two games in San Francisco and are in the midst of an eight-game trip that will conclude against the Dodgers in Los Angeles. The Diamondbacks went 14-14 in August, a vast improvement over their 7-17 July and reached .500 in a month for the first time this season.The Diamondbacks welcomed the recent return of center fielder A.J. Pollock.ddddddddddddHe broke his right elbow in the waning days of spring training and was reinstated from the 60-day disabled list Aug. 26.An All-Star and Gold Glove winner last year when he hit .315 with 20 homers, 76 RBI and 39 stolen bases, Pollock went hitless in eight at-bats in his first two games but has gone 6-for-12 in his past three with three runs scored, two walks and four stolen bases. His five-month absence left a huge void in the Diamondbacks offense and defense.When you have a player like A.J., whos multi-dimensional, he just takes (care of) the defense at centerfield, and that by itself is a game-changer many times, Diamondbacks chief baseball officer Tony La Russa said. Then you take away what he does offensively. He has a very live bat -- .300 hitter with a ball that jumps (off the bat) and really has exciting legs.Left-hander Robbie Ray will start for Arizona. Hes 7-12 with a 4.28 ERA and is averaging 11.2 strikeouts per nine innings, second in the majors behind Miamis Jose Fernandez (12.7). Ray will have six days rest since his last start Aug. 25 against Atlanta when he gave up two runs and six hits in five innings and took the loss in Atlantas 3-1 win.On his past four starts, Ray is 2-1 with a 1.50 ERA (29 innings, four earned runs) with seven walks and 29 strikeouts.Ray is 1-1 with a 4.10 ERA in five career starts against the Rockies and 1-0 with a 2.76 ERA in three career starts at Coors Field. In two games against the Rockies this season, Ray is 0-1 with an 8.31 ERA.The Diamondbacks are 38-60 against right-handed starters but 18-17 against lefties and will face one for the second straight game. They lost 4-2 Wednesday at San Francisco when Matt Moore started, and Jorge De La Rosa will start for the Rockies.De La Rosa is 8-7 with a 5.09 ERA and is coming off a no-decision Aug. 26 at Washington where he gave up eight hits and three runs in five innings with one walk and a season-high tying eight strikeouts before the Rockies won 9-4 in 11 innings.De La Rosa has not lost in seven starts since July 20 and is 2-0 with a 3.40 ERA in that span. The Rockies are 3-4 in those games.Hes 10-8 with a 3.10 ERA in 28 games, 24 starts, against Arizona in his career. De La Rosa is 1-0 with a 5.06 ERA in two starts this season against the Diamondbacks. ' ' '
