— -- EARTH CITY, Mo. -- Just two days after saying Austin Davis would remain the starting quarterback, St. Louis Rams coach Jeff Fisher has decided that veteran Shaun Hill now has the job, a source confirmed.

The source said Fisher informed the team of the change at a team meeting Wednesday morning, citing Hill's experience as the Rams prepare for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos.

Just Monday, Fisher had said Davis would continue to be the starter but finished that confirmation with "so we'll see where it goes."

Davis' status became tenuous after he threw two fourth-quarter interceptions and fumbled during this past weekend's 31-14 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

In nine games with eight starts, Davis threw for 2,001 yards with 12 touchdowns and nine interceptions for a passer rating of 85.1 and a QBR of 37.6. Four of those interceptions were returned for touchdowns, and he also had two fumbles returned for scores.

Hill gets a second chance after a calf injury suffered in the first half of the season opener allowed Davis to seize the job. Hill was the team's original starter after Sam Bradford was lost to a torn ACL for the second consecutive season in the team's third preseason game.

In his one half of action this season, Hill was 8-of-13 for 81 yards with an interception.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch had earlier reported the switch.
