Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay announced the team will carry three quarterbacks—Matthew Stafford, Stetson Bennett, and Ty Simpson—on their initial 53-man roster for 2026. McVay confirmed this decision on August 25, stating that Bennett has been the frontrunner for the backup quarterback role behind Stafford. Ty Simpson is expected to see action in the preseason finale on August 27, but McVay has not yet determined if Bennett will participate in that game. This approach mirrors the Rams' roster decisions from the previous two seasons, with Bennett holding extensive experience in McVay's offense.
