Per Jason La Canfora of CBS News, the Minnesota Vikings will start Case Keenum at quarterback over Sam Bradford because of concerns about Bradford’s knee. Bradford is officially inactive.

Case Keenum is 9-15 as a starter and was the primary quarterback for the Rams before being benched for the first overall pick in the 2016 draft, Jared Goff. Keenum is an aggressive passer without the timing or arm talent to pull off many of his throws. Given that Pittsburgh’s secondary seems to have issues tracking receivers deep, this could result in a surprisingly explosive game or an expectedly disappointing one.
