Rams adjust training camp plans to support Ty Simpson's development

The Los Angeles Rams are altering their training camp structure to assist rookie quarterback Ty Simpson's growth. As reports emerge, Simpson will have opportunities to compete for the backup role behind Matthew Stafford, who is managing a back issue. The Rams plan to limit Stafford's practice days while giving Simpson more repetitions with the starters. Significant changes include breaking camp into four-day blocks, allowing Stafford to rest on certain days. Simpson's development will be assessed during training camp and three preseason games as he competes against Stetson Bennett for the No. 2 quarterback position. Last year's MVP, Stafford's limited practice exposure proved effective, influencing the team's approach this season.
