Los Angeles Rams rookie quarterback Ty Simpson delivered another solid performance in the team's preseason finale, completing 18 of 23 passes for 119 yards and one touchdown. Drafted 13th overall, Simpson is likely to start the season as the third-string quarterback behind Matthew Stafford and Stetson Bennett IV, who appears to have secured the backup role. Simpson's strong completion rate throughout the preseason, now at 78.3%, highlights his potential for future development despite a likely redshirt year. The Rams are expected to rely solely on Stafford as they prepare for the regular season.
