Case Keenum Injured In Preseason Finale As Texans Evaluate QB Depth
4 months agoHouston Texans quarterback Case Keenum (arm) started the final preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams but was injured during the contest. Keenum appeared to hurt his arm while following through on a throw. He completed four of eight passes for 32 yards. He narrowly avoided an interception on a misfire with wide receiver John Metchie III, who was open, before being replaced by fourth-string quarterback Tim Boyle. Boyle performed well, completing nine of 13 passes for 64 yards and a touchdown to fullback Troy Hairston in the first half at NRG Stadium. Pro Bowl quarterback C.J. Stroud did not play as he prepares for the season opener against the Indianapolis Colts on Sept. 8. Davis Mills has secured the backup role. With Keenum now waiting to see if he or Boyle will be chosen as the third-string quarterback, Keenum may have the edge given his quasi-coach role in Stroud's development.
