Rams plan debut for Ty Simpson amid preseason role uncertainty
Summary

Ty Simpson, selected by the Rams in the first round, is expected to make his debut in the preseason, with his role currently unclear. Serving as the third-string quarterback behind Matthew Stafford and Stetson Bennett, Simpson may not take any snaps during the regular season unless in extreme conditions. Coach Sean McVay indicated that Simpson will have ample opportunities to learn during training camp, particularly due to Stafford's limited practice schedule. Although Bennett has received more repetition, Simpson's development is prioritized as the Rams prepare for the season. They aim to ease him into a starting role in the future, given his limited starting experience.
