The Palmer brothers became the first brothers in NFL history to be playing quarterback on the same team at the same time; brothers Koy and Ty Detmer were both on the Philadelphia Eagles roster at the same time, but Ty was on injured reserve.[1]
After the release of back-up quarterback J.T. O'Sullivan, Palmer was promoted to the backup quarterback of the Bengals behind his older brother Carson for the 2010 season.
On November 21, 2010, the Palmer brothers became the first pair in NFL history to play quarterback in the same game for the same team, in a loss to the Buffalo Bills.[2]
Palmer was released on August 27, 2011 by the Bengals.
