Rams assess Stetson Bennett's backup role behind Matthew Stafford

The Los Angeles Rams are evaluating Stetson Bennett as the backup quarterback for the 2026 season. With Matthew Stafford's future uncertain and the recent drafting of Ty Simpson, Bennett's performance during organized team activities has drawn scrutiny. Reports indicate that neither Bennett nor Simpson has emerged as a clear frontrunner for the backup position. Should Bennett fail to meet expectations, the Rams may look for a more seasoned option before the season begins. Evaluations will continue in padded training camp practices later this summer.
