Rams rookie Ty Simpson makes strong case for backup quarterback role

The Los Angeles Rams continue to evaluate their 2026 rookie class with the final preseason game ahead. Ty Simpson's performance, including two touchdown passes in his preseason debut against the Kansas City Chiefs, has bolstered his candidacy for the backup quarterback position. CJ Daniels also had a strong showing, catching eight passes for 68 yards against New Orleans. However, Keagen Trost and Tim Keenan III face challenges due to injury and roster competition. Max Klare's status remains uncertain after mixed performances. The Rams look to finalize their roster before the regular season begins.
