Stetson Bennett competes for backup role with Rams as training camp begins

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Stetson Bennett began training camp on July 26, 2026, vying for the backup position behind Matthew Stafford. With the drafting of rookie Ty Simpson, Bennett's future with the team has become uncertain, as the Rams have not indicated he is part of their long-term plans. Bennett has shown some improvement in preseason performance over the years but has yet to secure a definitive role. Reports indicate that he received most of the first-team reps early in camp, though he was reportedly outshined by Simpson in the first practice. Bennett must capitalize on his opportunities this offseason to solidify his place in the NFL.
