It should be interesting tonight when the St. Louis Rams and Cincinnati Bengals hook up.

Both teams will be without their starting quarterbacks. St. Louis' Marc Bulger has a broken pinkie on his throwing hand, and Cincinnati's Carson Palmer is plagued by a sprained left ankle.

Bulger will be replaced by Kyle Boller in tonight's game, where the Rams are pegged as 2.5-point underdogs.

St. Louis is 1-1 in exhibition play after falling at home to the Falcons 20-13 last Friday night.

Palmer is the Bengals' biggest concern with less than three weeks left before the opener on Sept. 13 against Denver. He missed a dozen games last season because of a torn ligament and tendon in his passing elbow.

J.T. O'Sullivan is expected to start for Cincinnati, backed up by Carson's younger brother, Jordan Palmer.

Cincy improved to 1-1 last Thursday, squeaking out a 7-6 win versus New England.
