Keenum (concussion) is active for Sunday's game versus the Lions, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Three weeks removed from sustaining an evident concussion, Keenum will take the reins of an offense under newly-anointed play caller Rob Boras. All things considered, Boras' lack of a track record, the dearth of receiving talent in St. Louis, and Keenum's career completion percentage of 54.5 don't paint an appealing picture.

Keenum (concussion) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Nick Wagoner of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
In the wake of another disastrous Nick Foles performance, Keenum was named the starting quarterback for Sunday's game. He was no better than Foles in his only outing this season, throwing for just 136 yards against a sub-par Baltimore defense in Week 11. Though his concussion is no longer a concern, Keenum could be in for another long afternoon, as the Detroit defense has been vastly improved in the second half of the season.

Keenum (concussion) practiced fully Wednesday, Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
The uninhibited showing marks Keenum's first since suffering a concussion in Week 11, which allowed Nick Foles to toss a combined 71 passes over the last two games. The Rams fired their offensive coordinator in the aftermath of Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, so it remains to be seen if the offense will exhibit some balance moving forward. No matter what occurs Sunday against the Lions, Keenum will likely be more of a game manager than anything, with Todd Gurley toting the rock with regularity.

Keenum (concussion) has been named the starting quarterback for next Sunday's game against the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
Earning active status this Sunday indicated that Keenum finally emerged from the concussion protocol, but head coach Jeff Fisher stuck with his decision from earlier in the week, entrusting the offense on Nick Foles' shoulders. Foles was a veritable disaster, completing 15 of 35 passes for 146 yards and one interception, and his failure to record a touchdown pass for a fourth consecutive appearance likely spurred the decision to return to Keenum. In his second start of the season, Keenum will attempt to bounce back from a 12-for-26, 136-yard, one-touchdown performance in Week 11.

Keenum (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Keenum has managed to achieve passage through the concussion protocol, but his inability to practice beyond a limited capacity this week spurred head coach Jeff Fisher to name Nick Foles the Rams' starting quarterback for the second consecutive contest. However, Keenum will serve as the No. 2 signal caller Sunday in anticipation of a return to the starting role next Sunday versus the Rams.

Keenum (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Jeff Fisher named Nick Foles the starting quarterback, so the only real question remaining is whether Keenum or Sean Mannion will serve as the backup. Either way, Keenum can be ignored this week, though it won't be surprising if he makes another start before the end of the season.

Head coach Jeff Fisher named Nick Foles the Rams' starting quarterback for Sunday's game versus the Cardinals, meaning Keenum (concussion) will be the No. 2 QB, at best, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Because Keenum was unable to log any practice reps Wednesday or Thursday, Fisher made the decision with plenty of time to spare for the showdown with the NFC West leaders. If he receives clearance from the concussion protocol, he may serve as Foles' primary backup, but the inactive list is a distinct landing spot for Keenum for a second consecutive game. Another absence would place Sean Mannion in the No. 2 role.

Keenum (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The fact that Keenum was contained to some individual drills indicates that he remains in the concussion protocol. Whenever he's cleared, he'll serve as the Rams' starting quarterback, but Nick Foles is around to direct the offense in the meantime.

Head coach Jeff Fisher reiterated Sunday that Keenum will start when he receives clearance from the concussion protocol, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Keenum fulfilled expectations with inactive status Sunday at Cincinnati, forcing the inimitable Nick Foles to carry the offense to the tune of 30-for-46 passing, 228 yards, and no touchdowns versus three interceptions. Still in the midst of the protocol for head injuries, Keenum's activity level in practice this week will forecast whether he's nearing a return.

Keenum (concussion) is inactive Sunday against the Bengals, ESPN's Nick Wagoner reports.
EDGE Analysis
Keenum was limited in practice all week while going through concussion protocol, and all indications leading up to the Sunday matchup had suggested Nick Foles would re-take the reins at quarterback. Keenum didn't necessarily "wow" anyone last week after completing 46 percent of his passes for 136 yards and a score, but had been expected to be the starting quarterback if healthy. Foles will now get another chance after nine underwhelming performances, but whoever claims the full-time job moving forward will likely be limited by the St. Louis run-first offense.
