Rams Planning To Start Nick Foles In Week 12

Rams HC Jeff Fisher told reporters that Case Keenum has yet to clear concussion protocol and they’re currently planning to start Nick Foles against the Bengals, per Nick Wagoner.

• Fisher added that they plan to see how Keenum is doing on Saturday before making anything official.

St. Louis elected to bench Foles in favor of Keenum last week, but he unfortunately sustained a concussion against the Ravens, but was left in game.

Foles, 26, came over in a trade from the Eagles that sent Sam Bradford to Philadelphia. He had one year remaining on his rookie contract when the Rams signed him to a two-year, $24 million extension back in August.

This season, Foles has completed just 56.6 percent of his passes, throwing only seven touchdowns to go with six interceptions. Last week during the Rams’ 37-13 loss to the Bears, Foles was 17 of 36 for 200 yards and an interception.

Keenum has apoeared in two games this season and thrown for 136 yards while completing 46.2 percent of his passes to go along with one touchdown and no picks.
