Stetson Bennett takes first-team reps at Rams training camp
Summary

Stetson Bennett opened the Los Angeles Rams' training camp on July 26, 2026, taking first-team reps in place of Matthew Stafford, who is resting every other day. Offensive coordinator Nate Scheelhaase praised Bennett's competitiveness and leadership as he leads the offense. Ty Simpson, the rookie quarterback, is working with the second team as Bennett gains valuable experience. The decision to leverage Bennett comes as he aims to secure the backup quarterback role after spending years primarily as a third-string player. The Rams have a month to finalize their quarterback roster before the season begins.
