Rams QB Keenum still has to pass concussion protocol
Unless Case Keenum passes the NFL concussion protocol Byron Bell JerseySaturday, St. Louis will turn to benched starter Nick Foles at quarterback. Keenum split practice time Friday with Foles, who was relieved of his duties two weeks ago by coach Jeff Fisher. Keenum had returned to practice on a limited basis Wednesday after missing Tuesday's workout because of a concussion. ''At this point, Case has been limited in practice and we've got him listed as questionable,'' Fisher http://www.nfltitansofficialshop.com/AUTHENTIC+CHANCE+WARMACK+JERSEYsaid after practice. ''He's not quite cleared the concussion protocol and unless we get good news tomorrow, then Nick will be our starter. If he's completely cleared, and if he feels good, he'll start. ''As it is right now, it's looking like we're going to have to potentially go with Nick, which is great. I'm so excited about Nick getting a chance to play. Case might be our third unless things get better tomorrow.'' The Rams (4-6) did not make http://www.nfltitansofficialshop.com/AUTHENTIC+CHARLIE+WHITEHURST+JERSEYKeenum available to reporters after the practice at Rams Park because he's still in the concussion protocol. Keenum made his first start of the season last week and was injured when his helmet banged into the turf after being sacked with about a minute to play in a 16-13 loss at Baltimore. He threw for 136 yards, completing 12 of 26 passes, and lost two fumbles. ''We're not going to subject him to any risks,'' Fisher said. ''We just have to wait and see how the protocol works itself out.'' Fisher benched Foles two weeks ago Alterraun Verner Jerseyafter a 37-13 blowout loss to the visiting Bears. Foles was 17 of 36 for 200 yards in the defeat. The Rams rank 31st overall on offense and in passing going into the game at Cincinnati (8-2). ''He had a great week,'' Fisher said about Foles. ''He's seized the opportunity. The offense understands where the challenges are. We need to score points. Nick is excited about the opportunity if he gets the chance to play.'' Foles started the first nine games of the season for the Rams. http://www.officialbuccaneersnflstore.com/AUTHENTIC+AUSTIN+SEFERIANJENKINS+JERSEYHe has seven touchdowns and six interceptions. ''Watching Case and looking through a different lens, you learn a lot,'' Foles said. ''As a quarterback, you always have to prepare like you're starting. You're always ready to go if your number is called. ''It's not like I turn it on and turn it off. I always stay ready. Hopefully, I'll play better. That's the goal.'' Fisher provided an update on receiver Stedman Bailey, who was shot in the head Tuesday while sitting in a parked car outside a home in the Miami area, where he attended high school. Bailey, serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, remains in intensive care after his surgery.
