At Rams training camp, Stetson Bennett is competing for the backup quarterback position behind Matthew Stafford. With Stafford taking maintenance days, Bennett has stepped in to take first-team reps. Reports indicate Bennett is ahead of Ty Simpson for the backup role, as he consistently connects with rookie wide receiver CJ Daniels during practice. Rams coach Sean McVay lauded Bennett's high-level play and his ability to adapt when plays break down. The Rams' first preseason game is scheduled for August 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs, presenting an opportunity for both quarterbacks to showcase their skills.
