THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Sean Mannion has only been active for one game this season for the Los Angeles Rams, as the backup quarterback in the season opener against the San Francisco 49ers.He could get back in the lineup Saturday -- with a chance to start, too.Starter Jared Goff is in concussion protocol after being knocked out of last Thursdays 24-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks with a head injury. The rookie No. 1 overall draft pick participated in team meetings and a light workout Monday, and interim coach John Fassel said Goff is day to day.Fassel said a decision regarding Goffs availability against the 49ers would likely come by Thursday, when the Rams hold their final practice during the short holiday week.Similar circumstances propelled Mannion into his first live action last season. Mannion was 6-of-7 passing for 31 yards in relief of Nick Foles against the Cincinnati Bengals after Case Keenum suffered a concussion in the previous game. The former Oregon State standout believes he has improved immensely since then.With Keenums contract expiring at the end of this season, the Rams could start Mannion in Goffs place, hoping to get him reps and find out whether he is a viable option behind Goff moving forward.It would be good for the team to get a look at Sean and see what he could do if pressed into service by necessity, Fassel said. Case would understand, so well see how that goes.Mannion, a 2015 third-round pick, played well in the preseason this year, completing 39 of 60 passes for 325 yards and three TDs with one interception in three games.From the draft all the way two years ago I feel like Ive made huge strides, Mannion said. Without getting a chance to play maybe it doesnt show, but I certainly feel like Ive been getting better and better each day and each week. Im always working on my game.As the inactive third quarterback for the last 13 weeks, Mannion used an early workout on game days to throw more than 100 passes before helping Goff, Keenum and the offense on the sideline during the game. Those efforts cap a weeks worth of preparation that Mannion says he treats as if he will start. Being elevated to the No. 2 role for a week would only reinforce those habits.Like anybody, you want to get an opportunity to play and being the backup puts you closer to being in the game, he said. But all year, I have prepared as though Im the one playing, Im the one starting and the one guy that has to go in and win games, so that doesnt change.The Rams have already made some other moves with an eye toward the future, deciding to exercise caution with defensive end Robert Quinn by placing him on injured reserve last week and signing four players to the practice squad this week.Offensive lineman Rodger Saffold, one of the most senior players on the Rams, understands why the organization might want to see what it has in a youngster like Mannion.We really have nothing to lose at this point, Saffold said. Sean has done great in practice. Hes shown awesome skills. He understands the offense. If thats the ride that they intend on going, they got good reason for it. Buy Air Max Plus .

NEW YORK -- More wins like the ones the Colorado Rockies enjoyed over the last two days might vault them into the playoff race. More losses like the ones the New York Mets endured over the same time frame might knock them out of contention.Two teams with seemingly different goals for 2016 yet traveling in unexpected directions will meet Friday night when the Mets host the Rockies in the second contest of a four-game series at Citi Field.The Rockies won the opener in surprising fashion Thursday afternoon, when they scored twice off All-Star closer Jeurys Familia in the ninth inning of a 2-1 victory. It was the first time all season Colorado has won a game in which it trailed after eight innings (1-41).Familia is as good as there is in the game, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. Their staff overall -- youre not going to come in here and put up big innings and big crooked numbers. Youve got to scratch and claw for everything.The Rockies might just be scratching and clawing their way into the wild card race. Colorado (50-52), which has endured five straight losing seasons, has gone 10-4 since the All-Star Break to move within five games of the Miami Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals, who are tied for the National Leagues second wild card.The recent run for the Rockies has been fueled by -- of all things -- pitching. Colorado starters have produced 17 quality starts this month, the most by the staff since 18 quality starts were authored in August 2010.The fact (is) weve got to win games and stay in this thing, Weiss said.If the defending National League champion Mets are going to stay in the race, theyre going to have to start scoring some runs.dddddddddddd New York ranks third in the majors in ERA (3.32) but last in batting average (.238).You have to come (Friday) ready to play, score some runs, help this pitching staff to win the game, Mets catcher Rene Rivera said. Thats the bottom line.The real culprit for the Mets has been a struggling lineup that has performed in stunningly abysmal fashion in the clutch.The Mets led 1-0 and had the bases loaded with nobody out in the seventh inning Thursday but could not add to the lead. Such woes are commonplace for New York, which is batting .205 with runners in scoring position this season -- last in baseball.Ive talked to some of the great RBI guys in the game -- the one thing they talk about is driving in runs is mental, Mets manager Terry Collins said. The approach you have at the plate, your mindset (is) alls youre trying to do is put the bat on the ball. Youre not looking for home runs. Youre not looking for anything. Just, hey, work the middle of the field. Thats been kind of the common denominator with those guys. And were just not doing it.Mets left-hander Steven Matz is scheduled to oppose Rockies right-hander Tyler Chatwood. Matz faces Colorado for the first time as a big leaguer while Chatwood is 2-0 with a 1.57 ERA in four career starts against New York.
