News

  • Won't be active

    Keenum (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Colts.

    Analysis: Keenum won't be considered part of the active roster for Sunday, with Davis Mills entrenched as the No. 2 option behind starter C.J. Stroud. However, Keenum will likely still be dressed as the team's emergency option at quarterback.

  • Makes 53-man roster

    Keenum has made the Texans' 53-man roster, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Texans drew trade interest for Keenum and Davis Mills ahead of Tuesday's deadline to make cuts, but both quarterbacks will remain on the team's initial 53-man roster as the backups to rookie C.J. Stroud. Keenum has appeared in 11 games over the past three seasons and will likely begin the 2023 campaign as the No. 3 quarterback in Houston.

  • Practicing again

    Keenum (leg) returned to practice Wednesday, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Keenum has been out of action since Aug. 14 when he initially missed practice and was spotted with a sleeve on his left leg. He'll now return to working to earn a spot on the roster as the team's No. 3 quarterback.

  • Absent from practice

    Keenum didn't finish Saturday's practice and was not on the field for Sunday's session, Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Houston reports. The quarterback was seen with a sleeve on his left leg at the end of practice.

    Analysis: This development sheds light as to why Houston signed quarterback E.J. Perry on Sunday. Perry can operate as a third QB while Keenum is unavailable.

  • Role uncertain

    Keenum and Davis Mills are expected to compete for the backup job after Houston selected C.J. Stroud with the second overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft on Thursday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Either Keenum or Mills could be the Week 1 starter, but in the long term, the position belongs to Stroud. Keenum -- who backed up Josh Allen in Buffalo last season -- was expected to help guide a young quarterback when he signed a two-year deal during the offseason, and that role should remain the same in 2023.

  • To sign two-year deal with Texans

    Keenum agreed to terms Monday on a two-year contract with the Texans, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: The 35-year-old Keenum played his college ball at Houston and is going back home to compete for a backup job with the Texans. There is still a lot to be sorted out at the quarterback spot in Houston, as the Texans are fully expected to use the No. 2 overall pick in next month's draft on a passer. Davis Mills also remains on the roster.

  • Plays little as No. 2 QB

    Keenum completed just two of seven passes for eight yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in spot duty while appearing in two games during the 2022 season.

    Analysis: Keenum was almost tossed into the spotlight twice in 2022 -- once when Josh Allen suffered a fairly serious elbow injury in a Week 9 loss to the Jets and again when Allen took a big hit in the Bills' divisional-round loss to the Bengals. However, Allen played through a number of issues throughout the season and never missed a full game. Keenum is under contract for two more seasons, and with No. 3 quarterback Matt Barkley signing a reserve/future contract Monday, the Bills may be prepared to…read more

  • Looks set to remain backup

    Keenum is expected to remain the Bills' backup quarterback Sunday against the Vikings with Josh Allen (elbow) active for the contest and slated to start, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Though Allen was listed as questionable heading into Sunday's game after he managed just one limited practice this week due to the UCL injury he sustained in the Week 9 loss to the Jets, the Bills' decision not to add a third quarterback to the active roster Saturday pointed to Allen being ready to go. While Allen avoided the inactive list, he didn't initially take part in warmups with the team before he finally got on the field to take the first 11-on-11 walk-through rep with the offense,…read more

  • Could be needed for Week 10 start

    Keenum could make his first start of the season in Sunday's game against the Vikings with top quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) listed as questionable but uncertain to play in the Week 10 contest, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: While tending to an injury to the UCL in his throwing elbow and related nerves, Allen sat out practices Wednesday and Thursday before returning as a limited participant Friday. The limited session might have been good enough for Allen to avoid being ruled out heading into the weekend, but head coach Sean McDermott described the signal-caller's status as an "hour-to-hour situation," which suggests Allen may be trending toward a game-time call in advance of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. With Allen…read more

  • Could be called upon

    Keenum's teammate Josh Allen reportedly is being evaluated for an elbow injury to his ulnar collateral ligament as well as related nerves.

    Analysis: Allen dismissed the severity of the injury Sunday after the loss to the Jets, saying he'd be OK, but he clearly was hurting on the team's final drive, and coach Sean McDermott indicated Monday that his star QB needed to be further evaluated. Allen missed four games as a rookie with a UCL injury, though for all we know he could be ready to suit up Week 10 around some limited practice time. Should the worst transpire, however, Keenum would be called to take on starting duties for a team that…read more

  • Mops up in garbage time

    Keenum completed two of his five pass attempts for eight yards in Sunday's 38-3 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Even though he played just eight snaps after starter Josh Allen was rested for the final 10 minutes of the blowout win, Keenum was still given the opportunity to air it out. Keenum showed a rapport with wideout Isaiah Hodgins -- who drew four of the targets -- but he wasn't able to generate a first down across his three drives. Thanks to a pair of resounding wins over the Titans and Bills, Keenum has already seen action in two games this season, but he's unlikely to receive extended playing…read more

  • Improves in second preseason outing

    Keenum completed 16 of 18 passes for 192 yards with one touchdown pass and no interceptions in Saturday's preseason win over Denver.

    Analysis: Keenum showed major improvement in his second preseason outing, after a poor showing in his Bills debut a week prior. The efficient showing should be enough to squash any talk of Matt Barkley overtaking Keenum for the No. 2 job, but with Josh Allen being rested in the preseason finale this week against the Panthers, both of the backups should see plenty of playing time.

  • Rough debut for Buffalo

    Keenum completed 11 of 18 passes for 86 yards with no TD passes and two interceptions in Buffalo's preseason win over the Colts on Saturday.

    Analysis: While those numbers are rough on their own, Keenum also lost a fumble and was sacked six times, and his 33.3 rating paled in comparison to teammate Matt Barkley's 86.1 figure. Keenum was brought in to be the main backup to Josh Allen, and it's doubtful the Bills would punt on that plan after just one lousy preseason performance, but Keenum will have to at least show something better over the last two preseason games.

  • Sent to Buffalo

    Keenum was traded to the Bills from the Browns on Saturday in exchange for a 2022 seventh-round pick, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: This was expected considering Keenum was due to earn $7.1 million next season. The long-time veteran has been a stable backup presence for teams over the years, having played in 35 games combined for three separate franchises in the last four seasons. With stalwart franchise icon Josh Allen already set at the quarterback spot, expect Keenum to be one of the better backups in the league once more.

  • Return unlikely

    The Browns are expected to trade or release Keenum during the offseason, Jeff Howe and Zac Jackson of The Athletic report.

    Analysis: Severing ties to Keenum is one of several expected moves the organization will take to bolster the passing game, including new targets at wideout and tight end. Keenum, who made two starts for the Browns in 2021, is due to earn $7.1 million in 2022, and the team may want to reallocate those dollars.

  • Pair of TD tosses in finale

    Keenum completed 17 of 24 passes for 176 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Browns' 21-16 win over the Bengals on Sunday. He also rushed five times for 15 yards and lost a fumble.

    Analysis: Keenum once again did a serviceable job in Baker Mayfield's (shoulder) stead, connecting with Jarvis Landry and Demetric Felton on touchdown passes of 26 and 10 yards, respectively. The veteran is under contract through next season and therefore figures to remain as a trusted veteran No. 2 option behind Mayfield or a possible offseason addition.

  • Named Week 18 starter

    Head coach Kevin Stefanski named Keenum the Browns' starting quarterback for Sunday's season finale against the Bengals, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Stefanski revealed Tuesday that Baker Mayfield wouldn't be available for Week 18 while planning to move forward with a procedure to repair a torn labrum in his left (non-throwing) shoulder, but the coach didn't immediately appoint a replacement for the signal-caller in the lineup. Keenum, who has served as Mayfield's top understudy all season, was always the top candidate to get the start, and Stefanski made the matter official Wednesday. Meanwhile, Nick Mullens is back from the practice squad…read more

  • Frontrunner for Week 18 start

    Keenum is expected to start Sunday's game against the Bengals after head coach Kevin Stefanski said Tuesday that Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is scheduled to undergo surgery "as soon as possible" and won't be available for the season finale, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Though Stefanski didn't officially name a Week 18 starter, Keenum will presumptively receive the nod, considering he's served as the No. 2 signal-caller behind Mayfield all season when both have been available. Kyle Lauletta, meanwhile, is another option at the position, though he's bounced around multiple organizations since entering the league in 2018 and has only had a few weeks to get up to speed with the Cleveland playbook since being signed off Jacksonville's practice squad Dec. 17.…read more

  • Could play Week 18

    Keenum could start in the Browns' season finale Sunday against the Bengals with Baker Mayfield weighing whether to undergo surgery to repair the torn labrum in his left non-throwing shoulder prior to the Week 18 game or during the offseason, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Mayfield fought through multiple injuries this season that contributed to his poor play, but he also struggled with accuracy and made poor decisions. The No. 1 overall pick from the 2018 NFL Draft remains on the books through 2022 after the Browns exercised his $18.86 million team option this past spring, but Monday's 26-14 loss to the Steelers could mark his last outing as a starter if Cleveland elects to pursue an upgrade this offseason. With the Browns eliminated from playoff contention, the…read more

    Keenum (illness) is listed as active for Saturday's game against the Packers, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: As is Baker Mayfield, who is slated to start the contest. In that context, Keenum, who was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, is in line to serve as Cleveland's No. 2 QB on Saturday.

    Keenum (illness) has cleared COVID protocols and is available for Saturday's game against Green Bay, per Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal and Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer.

    Analysis: Keenum was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, but he was subsequently listed as questionable by the Browns as he navigated through the league's COVID protocols. His Week 16 status will be finalized upon the release of the team's inactives in advance of Saturday's 4:30 ET kickoff, but Keenum is now poised to back up Baker Mayfield versus Green Bay.

  • Officially questionable for Week 16

    Keenum (illness), who was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, will be listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Packers, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: The designation is only procedural with Keenum being one week removed from testing positive for the virus, but because he's cleared the NFL's COVID-19 return-to-play protocol, he's on track to play Saturday. With Baker Mayfield (illness) also coming off the same list Friday, he's expected to handle his usual starting role, while Keenum backs him up.

    Cleveland activated Keenum (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.

    Analysis: The Browns also brought back Baker Mayfield (illness), who is in line to start Saturday's game in Green Bay. Keenum should fill his usual role as the backup, after both he and Mayfield missed last week's loss to the Raiders, which allowed Nick Mullens to step in for a spot start.

  • Can't gain clearance for Monday

    Keenum (illness) has yet to clear all protocols and won't be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Monday's game against the Raiders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Even with the NFL pushing back its Week 15 game two days, Cleveland will be without both of its top signal-callers, as Keenum remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list along with regular starter Baker Mayfield. Their absences pave the way for practice-squad call-up Nick Mullens to make his Browns debut Monday, directing a shorthanded Browns offense that will also be without top wideout Jarvis Landry (illness), who is also on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Kyle Lauletta, whom Cleveland recently signed…read more

    Analysis: News of Keenum testing positive for the virus first arrived Thursday, but the Browns didn't officially deactivate him until a day later. Because of the Browns' mounting COVID-19 concerns, the NFL officially moved the team's Week 15 game against the Raiders from its originally scheduled date (Saturday). The Browns and Raiders are now scheduled to play Monday at 5 p.m. ET, and the two-day delay coupled with the NFL's newly updated COVID-19 return-to-play protocols could give both Keenum and Baker…read more

He filled in for Mayfield earlier this season, directing the team to a 17-10 win over Denver in a Thursday game Oct. 21.

    Keenum played two snaps and did not attempt a pass in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Ravens.

    Analysis: Keenum entered the contest after a sack of starter Baker Mayfield forced him to the sidelines for evaluation. The backup handed off the ball to D'Ernest Johnson for a couple of plays before the Browns punted. Mayfield was back in the game by the time Cleveland had possession again.

  • Plays in blowout loss

    Keenum completed eight of 12 pass attempts for 81 yards against New England on Sunday.

    Analysis: Keenum stepped in for Baker Mayfield (knee/shoulder) in the third quarter and mopped up in the blowout loss. It's believed that Mayfield could have kept playing if the game hadn't been so lopsided, so Mayfield is expected to start against Detroit in Week 11.

    Keenum completed 21 of 33 passes for 199 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in the Browns' 17-14 win over the Broncos on Thursday night. He also rushed four times for seven yards.

    Analysis: Logging the spot start for Baker Mayfield (shoulder), Keenum turned in a yeoman's effort, staying away from turnovers and allowing D'Ernest Johnson to carry the bulk of the offense on his shoulders out of the backfield. The veteran also displayed good pocket presence by taking just one sack against an aggressive Denver defense, and he undoubtedly benefited from having both Odell Beckham (shoulder) and Jarvis Landry (knee) active for the contest.

    Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Keenum will start Thursday's game against the Broncos in place of Baker Mayfield (shoulder), Dan Labbe of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Mayfield presumably will be ruled out for the contest while he recovers from a complete tear of the labrum in his non-throwing shoulder, but the Browns haven't decided on his status beyond Week 7. Nonetheless, Keenum -- who came on in relief for Mayfield in last week's blowout loss to the Cardinals -- will step in under center for his first start since 2019, when he was with Washington. Keenum has plenty of experience running Stefanski's offensive system from their time together in 2017 with…read more

  • Needed in relief Sunday

    Keenum completed one of three passes for six yards after replacing Baker Mayfield (shoulder) late in Sunday's 37-14 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Mayfield was able to play through his shoulder injury and remained in the game until it was well out of hand, so it seems likely he'll be under center for a Week 7 home tilt against the Broncos. If he winds up being shut down, however, Keenum would get the nod against the team he started 16 games for in 2018.

    Keenum completed nine of 12 passes for 74 yards and one touchdown with one interception and two sacks in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Giants in preseason Week 2.

Keenum engineered an 81-yard scoring drive the first time Cleveland had the ball, delivering a tight-window strike to KhaDarel Hodge for a touchdown on fourth-and-goal from the seven. Keenum then had the Browns in the red zone on the second drive but threw a nasty end-zone interception. Kyle Lauletta finished out the game from the end of the…read more

  • Starts preseason opener

    Keenum completed 12 of 17 attempts for 115 yards in Saturday's 23-13 win over Jacksonville in preseason Week 1.

    Analysis: The Browns held starter Baker Mayfield out, so Keenum naturally stepped in. He played the first three series, engineered two scoring drives (both field goals) and established a rhythm with offensive regulars who were not held out, such as Donovan Peoples-Jones and Rashard Higgins. Keenum appeared in just two games (15 snaps) last season.

  • Under contract for 2021

    Keenum is expected to return as Cleveland's backup quarterback for 2021.

    Analysis: Keenum appeared in one game, serving in relief while starter Baker Mayfield dealt with a rib injury. He signed a three-year deal prior to the 2020 season, which includes guaranteed money for 2021, and the soon-to-be 33-year-old Keenum is a known commodity to coach Kevin Stefanski.

  • Enters game in relief

    Keenum completed five of 10 pass attempts for 46 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in Week 6 against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Keenum entered the game late in the third quarter after Baker Mayfield was pulled due to the aggravation of his rib injury. The game was already well out of reach, so Keenum wasn't asked to do much in the closing quarter. However, Keenum could be counted on to start in Week 7 against the Bengals if Mayfield is too injured to suit up. Keenum last saw major playing time as the quarterback for Washington in 2019, when he managed a 65 percent completion rate and an 11:5 TD:INT ratio.

    Keenum has agreed to a three-year, $18 million deal with the Browns, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Keenum doesn't expect to re-sign with Washington, Ethan Cadeaux of NBC Sports Washington reports.

    Analysis: New head coach Ron Rivera did say Dwayne Haskins (ankle) will have to earn the starting job, but that doesn't necessarily mean Rivera views someone like Keenum or Colt McCoy as a viable alternative. For what it's worth, Keenum went out of his way to compliment Haskins, noting that the 22-year-old showed enough improvement late in the season to keep the job heading into 2020. As for his own career prospects, Keenum hopes to find another opportunity to compete for a starting role. He's scheduled…read more

  • Modest numbers to close out season

    Keenum completed 18 of 37 passes for 206 yards and a touchdown with one interception in Sunday's 47-16 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Getting his first start since Week 8 due to Dwayne Haskins' ankle injury, Keenum wasn't able to generate much offense against a desperate Dallas defense. The veteran QB finishes the year having completed a strong 64.8 percent of his passes (160-for-247), but his 11:5 TD:INT and 6.9 YPA over 10 games were less impressive. Those numbers should be good enough to land him a backup job as a free agent in the offseason, but Keenum is unlikely to return to Washington -- in addition to Haskins, the QB…read more

  • Drawing Week 17 start

    Keenum will start at quarterback Sunday against the Cowboys with interim coach Bill Callahan ruling Dwayne Haskins (ankle) out for the Week 17 contest, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.

    Analysis: Haskins' rookie season came to the end early in the third quarter of Sunday's 41-35 overtime loss to the Giants, when the first-round pick suffered a left high-ankle sprain. Keenum, who had opened the season as Washington's starter, came on in relief of Haskins for just his second appearance since Week 8, finishing out the loss with 16 completions for 158 yards and a score across 22 attempts to go along with a one-yard touchdown run. Keenum's presence under center shouldn't amount to much of a…read more

  • Steps in for injured Haskins

    Keenum completed 16 of 22 pass attempts for 158 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 41-35 loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: Keenum began the game on the bench, but he stepped in when Dwayne Haskins (ankle) was injured on the first play of the third quarter. Keenum was rather efficient as he completed 73 percent of his passes while tossing a seven-yard touchdown strike to Steven Sims on his second possession. If Haskins is unable to play next Sunday against the Cowboys, Keenum will be in line for a starting role for the season finale.

  • Out of protocol

    Keenum (concussion) isn't listed on the Redskins' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Out of the NFL's protocol for head injuries, Keenum is set to be active for the first time since Week 8. On Sunday against the Jets and beyond, though, he'll serve as the backup to rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins, an arrangement which likely will hold for the rest of the campaign.

  • Backup role confirmed

    Keenum (concussion) will be the No. 2 quarterback behind Dwayne Haskins for the rest of the season, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: On Monday, interim coach Bill Callahan named Haskins the starter moving forward, relegating Keenum and Colt McCoy to reserve roles. Keenum remains in the concussion protocol, so he wasn't guaranteed to regain the top spot on the depth chart following the Redskins' bye week anyway. Wednesday's practice report will give an indication of Keenum's chances to be the backup Sunday against the Jets.

  • May not reclaim starting gig

    Keenum (concussion) isn't expected to receive the start Week 11 against the Jets, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Keenum will spend Week 10 working to progress through the five-step concussion protocol while Washington is on bye. Though the Redskins haven't yet announced a starter for Week 11, Garafolo relays that rookie Dwayne Haskins is the current favorite to face the Jets. Keenum could influence that decision if he manages to gain clearance from the protocol in quick fashion, but things currently appear to be trending towards the veteran receding into a backup role while the non-contending Redskins…read more

  • Replaced by Haskins, for now

    Keenum (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Buffalo, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

    Analysis: Keenum practiced on a limited basis throughout the week, but Dwayne Haskins got most of the reps with the first-team offense. With Keenum not being able to clear the concussion protocol, Haskins will step in for his first NFL start, with Colt McCoy serving as the backup. It isn't clear if Keenum will return to the starting job once he's cleared of the concussion.
