Rams split backup quarterback duties between Stetson Bennett and Ty Simpson

The Los Angeles Rams are adopting a flexible approach to their backup quarterback position behind Matthew Stafford for the upcoming season. Head coach Sean McVay stated that Stetson Bennett and Ty Simpson will share duties, characterizing the duo as a 2A and 2B setup rather than a traditional depth chart hierarchy. While the team listed Bennett as the primary backup and Simpson as the third-string option, the coaching staff intends to continue developing both players throughout the season. This departure from previous years, when veteran Jimmy Garoppolo held the backup role, follows solid preseason performances from both young quarterbacks. The team has not finalized who will serve as the active backup or emergency third quarterback on game days, leaving the arrangement subject to change as the season progresses.
