Keenum (concussion) has been named the starting quarterback for next Sunday's game against the Lions.
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.
