EARTH CITY, Mo. -- For the first time since he suffered the concussion that brought NFL brain injuries back to the forefront of the national conversation, St. Louis Rams quarterback Case Keenum spoke publicly Wednesday afternoon.
The affable Keenum was his usual engaging, expansive self. This was Keenum feeling like himself again after a more-than-two-week ordeal that left him fielding questions about how he felt on an almost nonstop basis.
But most important, it was Keenum offering his side of what happened Nov. 22 in Baltimore. For those who don't recall, Keenum took a big hit from Ravens defensive lineman Timmy Jernigan as he let go of a pass; Keenum's head snapped back into the ground.
