No NFL Action Against St. Louis Rams After Quarterback Case Keenum Head Injury [WATCH]

Last week against the Baltimore Ravens, Case Keenum, quarterback of the St. Louis Rams, suffered a hard hit to the head. The hit left him clearly dazed. Yet, despite the warning signs, Keenum continued to play -- a decision that had many around the league in an uproar. However, the St. Louis Rams will not face any punishment for their mishandling of the apparent head injury, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The play in question saw Keenum, 27, thrown to the turf by Ravens defensive lineman Timmy Jernigan. Afterward, he struggled to get back to his feet. While trainers would go out to check on him, Keenum stayed in the game. Two plays later, Keenum, still uneasy, fumbled the ball on a sack. The Ravens recovered, and won the game on the ensuing drive.

In a statement issued Monday, the NFL had this to say regarding the incident:

"Promptly after the conclusion of yesterday's game, we began a review to determine the facts of the injury to St. Louis quarterback Case Keenum and why he was not removed from the game for the necessary evaluation by a team physician or the unaffiliated neuro-trauma consultant as required by out concussion protocols. We are continuing that review today, which includes discussions with the Rams and their medical staff, the ATC Spotter, the game officials, out medical advisors and the NFLPA. In the meantime, prior to this week's games, we will reinforce with all involved the need to ensure that these injuries are properly identified and addressed in a manner consistent with our protocols."

According to Rams coach Jeff Fisher, Keenum told the trainers that he was "fine."  Which was enough for the wobbly quarterback to stay in the game, since the coach was unable to see the entire exchange.

"Had I seen that," Fisher said, via CBS Boston, "I would have sent [trainer] Reggie [Scott] out there on the field and said, 'Hey, get him off the field.' We didn't see it. We didn't know."

The NFL held a conference call with the Rams and others last week to review concussion protocol for incidents that happen during games, according to SB Nation. Apparently, that is the extent of the matter as far as the NFL is concerned.
