Ty Simpson falls to third-string QB status for Rams
Summary

Ty Simpson, a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, is reportedly the Rams' third-string quarterback. With veteran Matthew Stafford returning for an 18th season, the Rams have opted to elevate Stetson Bennett to the backup position. This development raises questions about Simpson's readiness and the overall depth of the Rams at the quarterback position. If Stafford were to be injured, the Rams may have to rely on a developing Bennett, who served as the third-string QB last season.
