The Bears activated Keenum (undisclosed) from the active/non-football injury list Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Keenum was one of a few players added that Chicago placed on the active/NFI list Saturday. It's unclear what issue the 37-year-old was dealing with, but it won't keep him from hitting the practice field as the Bears open training camp Tuesday. Keenum joined the team on a one-year contract in April, and, while he'll likely compete with Tyson Bagent for the No. 2 quarterback role, his primary contribution should come as a mentor for Caleb Williams as he enters his second season as a starter.

Keenum (undisclosed) was placed on the active/non-football injury list by the Bears on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Once he's ready to start practicing again, the quarterback can return from the active/NFI list at any time during training camp and the preseason. Keenum signed a one-year deal with the Bears in April after missing the 2024 season with a foot injury. The veteran, who has made 66 career regular-season starts and two playoff starts, might be able to compete with Tyson Bagent for the backup job to Caleb Williams.

The Texans are placing Keenum (foot) on IR, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per the report, Keenum's placement on IR is due to a lingering foot injury that he aggravated in the Texans' final preseason game against the Rams. As a result, C.J. Stroud and Davis Mills are on track to be the only QB's on the team's initial 53-man roster.

Keenum has one year remaining on his contract heading into the 2024 offseason. He completed 34 of 53 passes for 291 yards and one touchdown with three interceptions in two games played during the 2023 season.
EDGE Analysis
Keenum was locked in as the third-string quarterback when C.J. Stroud was healthy, but when Houston's No. 1 quarterback sat out Weeks 15 and 16 due to a concussion, head coach DeMeco Ryans opted for Keenum over primary backup Davis Mills. Both backups are under contract for the upcoming season, and the 36-year-old Keenum is expected to resume the role as emergency QB and helpful mentor for Stroud.

Keenum (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Titans, but he'll serve as the Texans' emergency third quarterback, Drew Dougherty of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Keenum got spot starts the last two games for an absent C.J. Stroud, combining for 291 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions on 34-for-53 passing in roughly six quarters of play. Now that Stroud is out of the concussion protocol and cleared to resume the No. 1 QB gig for Houston, Keenum will move back to his customary third spot on the depth chart, but he also is available in the event Stroud and Davis Mills have to leave Sunday's contest due to health concerns.
