Keenum is the Rams' No. 2 quarterback, ESPN's Nick Wagoner reports.

Keenum unsurprisingly beat out Austin Davis, who is now highly unlikely to make the final roster, as the Rams presumably don't plan on releasing rookie third-round draft pick Sean Mannion.

Keenum appears to have the edge thus far for the No. 2 quarterback spot in St. Louis, Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

While who the backup quarterback isn't a huge deal for most teams, the last 25 regular-season games for the Rams have been started by the backup quarterback. Current starter Nick Foles hasn't been the picture of perfect health, either, so Keenum could see some time if he beats out Austin Davis and Sean Mannion for the job.

The Texans have traded Keenum to the Rams for a seventh-round draft pick in 2016, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

With Ryan Mallett and Brian Hoyer now in the Texans' QB mix, Keenum returns to the Rams for a second stint, this time around to back up newly-acquired Nick Foles.

Keenum completed 25-of-35 passes for 250 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 23-17 win over Jacksonville. He also threw an interception and lost a fumble.

It was a solid performance from Keenum, with a playoff berth on the line, but the Texans were eliminated from postseason contention when the Ravens defeated the Browns. He performed admirably over the final couple weeks of the season, after Ryan Fitzpatrick (leg) was lost for the year, but the young quarterback's status with Houston is up in the air for the 2015 campaign.

Keenum completed 20-of-42 passes for 185 yards and an interception, while adding 19 rushing yards on four carries during Sunday's win over the Ravens.

It was unclear until just before kickoff whether Keenum would start over Thad Lewis, but there he was taking the opening snap for the Texans and throwing a 35-yard pass to wideout Andre Johnson. Unfortunately, it wasn't an omen of things to come, as the Texans' lone passing touchdown was thrown by running back Arian Foster. Based on his performance, Keenum should get the start in Week 17 against the Jaguars, who are ranked 22nd against the pass this season, though he's a fairly limited fantasy option.

Keenum drew the start in Sunday's game against the Ravens.

As expected, though Keenum is only an option this week for those digging very deep at QB on Sunday, as we'd expect the Texans to feature a run-heavy attack against the Ravens on Sunday.

The Texans did not officially announce who will start at QB -- between Keenum and Thad Lewis -- on Sunday against the Ravens, the Houston Chronicle reports.

While the Texans have not confirmed Keenum as Sunday's starter, that's the expected outcome, though in such a scenario, he'd only be an option in the deepest of formats, as we'd expect the team to feature a run-heavy attack against the Ravens on Sunday.

Keenum is expected to start at QB for the Texans on Sunday against the Ravens, according to ESPN.com's Adam Caplan.

While such an outcome has yet to be confirmed by the Texans, the report suggests that the team appears to be leaning toward going with Keenum (who was re-signed by Houston off the St. Louis practice squad on Monday) over Thad Lewis on Sunday based on his overall knowledge of the team's offense gained from his previous stint with the team. Per NFL.com, coach Bill O'Brien doesn't seem inclined to tip his hand with regard to the team's Week 16 QB plans, but at this stage it looks like Keenum is on track to get the nod. Assuming that's the case, all things considered, Keenum is only an option in the deepest of fantasy formats this week.

Head coach Bill O'Brien said he's "pretty close" to making a decision as to whether Keenum or Thad Lewis will start this coming Sunday against Baltimore, the Texans' official site reports.

However, the coach is not ready to divulge which one will start. "I'm going to keep that one close to the vest," O'Brien said Wednesday. O'Brien added that both Keenum and Lewis will prepare to start "right up until game time," suggesting the identity of his start will not be revealed until Sunday.

The Texans have signed Keenum, the Houston Chronicle reports.

With Ryan Fitzpatrick out for the season and Tom Savage unavailable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, either Keenum or Thad Lewis will draw the start at QB for the Texans in Week 16. "We'll divide the reps (for QBs) as we go through the week," coach Bill O'Brien noted Monday. "We'll do a good job of taking a good look at both of them."

The Texans are expected to sign Keenum off the Rams' practice squad, the Houston Chronicle reports.

Keenum will be on the active roster for the final two weeks of the season. The decision to sign him comes on the heels of Ryan Fitzpatrick getting knocked out of Sunday's loss to the Colts with a leg injury, leaving Houston with rookie Tom Savage and backup Thad Lewis at quarterback. Keenum, who has history with the Texans, was with the team in training camp.

The Rams waived Keenum on Tuesday, NFL.com reports.

Keenum was released to open a roster spot for Mark Barron, who was acquired from the Buccaneers. Keenum did not appear in a game with the Rams, but he received eight starts with the Texans last season and still has practice squad eligibility remaining, so he will likely hook on with someone in the near future.

The Rams have claimed Keenum on waivers from the Texans, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Per Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Keenam arrives in St. Louis as the team's No. 3 quarterback behind Shaun Hill and Austin Davis, but in the wake of Sam Bradford's season-ending injury, the situation is fluid enough that it's conceivable once Keenum is up to speed with the Rams' offense, he could potentially enter the team's starting equation down the road.

Keenum was released by the Texans, the Houston Chronicle reports.

This is the proverbial "second shoe to drop" after the Texans traded for quarterback Ryan Mallett from New England. Keenum's problems in the pocket, which emerged last season when he was exposed to NFL defenses over a stretch of games, never got any better.

Keenum completed 8-of-17 passes for 70 yards with an interception in Thursday night's preseason loss to the 49ers. He finished with a 33.9 quarterback rating.

Keenum finishes off an uninspiring preseason, but he was no worse than Tom Savage, who was 8-for-12 for 43 yards and an interception that was returned for a touchdown. Head coach Bill O'Brien said the quarterback play "wasn't very good," CSN Houston reports. Bottom line, nothing happened Thursday to alter the quarterback depth chart. Ryan Fitzpatrick is the starter with Keenum the backup by a small margin over Savage. If there's anything to take away, it's that Fitzpatrick's job is really, really safe.

Keenum will start Thursday's preseason finale, since regular season starter Ryan Fitzpatrick probably won't play, HoustonTexans.com reports.

Keenum starting Thursday is mostly newsworthy because it indicates he's still ahead of rookie Tom Savage as the Texans' No. 2 quarterback. With the fourth-rounder reportedly closing the gap on Keenum, Thursday's outing represents a significant game for both backups.

Keenum remains ahead of rookie Tom Savage on the depth chart, but Savage "closed the gap" after Saturday night's preseason win over Denver, according to head coach Bill O'Brien, CSN Houston reports.

Keenum moved the Texans on his first drive of the game that resulted in a field goal, but also made some poor decisions and was lucky not to be picked-off on a couple of throws. Meanwhile, Savage engineered a game-winning touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter. Savage is expected to start the fourth and final preseason game this week.

Keenum struggled with his pocket presence during Saturday night's preseason win over Denver, CSN Houston report. He completed 11-of-18 throws for 74 yards and was sacked once.

The numbers don't stand out as being particularly bad, but there are areas of quarterback play that don't show up in the box score. Continuing a trait that emerged last season, Keenum doesn't feel pressure well.

Keenum, who was the third quarterback used in Saturday night's preseason game, is still ahead of rookie Tom Savage on the depth chart, CSN Houston reports.

Head coach Bill O'Brien was discussing the quarterbacks in the day-after press conference and noted that Savage is still "a little behind" Keenum.

Keenum was the third quarterback used in Saturday night's preseason win over Atlanta. He completed 6-of-12 for 81 yards with an interception and a 37.2 quarterback rating.

Head coach Bill O'Brien had rookie quarterback Tom Savage enter the game following starter Ryan Fitzpatrick, but that was a one-game thing. Keenum remains the top backup at this point. If it turns out that his play doesn't warrant the job, we suspect the Texans will bring in a veteran free agent to operate behind Fitzpatrick.
