Keenum appears to be the leading candidate to start in Week 1, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The Rams made quite the commitment to their quarterback of the future in order to select Jared Goff first overall in the 2016 NFL Draft. Despite the assets required to obtain him, the Rams have handed the bulk of first-team snaps to Keenum, the incumbent, and even listed him at the top of the depth chart in the early stages of training camp. All signs point to Keenum serving under center for the Rams' first series of the season on Sept. 12 at San Francisco, but Goff could surprise the football world yet again with a strong showing in the preseason.
