Ty Simpson expected to play a prominent role for Rams in preseason
Summary

Ty Simpson will have significant playing time during the Los Angeles Rams' preseason, as confirmed by Coach Sean McVay. The Rams view Simpson as a project quarterback who needs ample reps to develop, rather than a player expected to perform exceptionally from the onset. With limited experience since enrolling at Alabama in 2022, the focus for Simpson this preseason will be to operate cleanly within the offense while staying healthy. Evaluations will likely consider basic competence rather than impressive performance at this stage.
