Keenum will serve as the Rams' backup quarterback Sunday against the Dolphins, the Los Angeles Times reports.
After the Rams moved up to the No. 1 spot in the 2016 NFL Draft and selected Jared Goff, it was only a matter of time before head coach Jeff Fisher put his trust in the rookie quarterback. With a 4-5 record, the team isn't out of the playoff hunt by any means, but clearly Fisher felt that Goff was ready to helm the 31st-ranked offense. The move will thus push Keenum to a backup role following a nine-game stretch in which he posted the fourth-worst QB rating (76.8) among qualified signal-callers.
