St. Louis Rams quarterback Shaun Hill waited three full seasons between starts.

That long wait ended in the season opener when Hill started against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1 after Sam Bradford had a second ACL tear in the team’s third preseason game. As it turns out, Hill’s stay as the starter lasted all of one half.

Hill played those first 30 minutes against the Vikings but did not return to that game after injuring his calf. Austin Davis took over and performed well enough in the two starts he made after to claim the job on a more permanent basis.

Rams coach Jeff Fisher confirmed as much Wednesday, the same day he informed Hill that Davis would be the starter moving forward after repeatedly insisting that Hill would resume starting duties upon returning to health.
