|  | Niners Sign QB Jesse Palmer

The San Francisco 49ers signed Jesse Palmer on Tuesday after losing their top two quarterbacks to injuries.
Palmer, a fourth-round pick out of Florida by the New York Giants in 2001, was released before this season. Used primarily a backup in New York, he completed 63 of 120 passes for 562 yards, three touchdowns and four interceptions.
"I'm just looking forward to coming in and working hard and trying to pick things up as quickly as I can," Palmer said. "I'm ready to do whatever they ask me to do, and whatever I can do to help this team win."
The 49ers made the move after No. 1 overall pick Alex Smith went down with strained knee ligaments and backup Ken Dorsey hurt his ankle. Cody Pickett, the fourth-stringer at the start of the season, is expected to be San Francisco's fourth starter in five games Sunday against the Giants.
The Niners earlier traded Tim Rattay, their opening day starter, to Tampa Bay.
"It's difficult in my position because you are just waiting on injuries and that's often when your opportunity comes at this point into the season," Palmer said. "You never wish anyone ill health, but that's the reality of the business."
To make room on the roster for Palmer, the 49ers waived free safety Jeremy Thornburg. The team also waived linebacker Roger Cooper from the practice squad.
He was also The New Bachelor on the show The Bachelor on ABC
