Bennett Ready to Backup Stafford for Rams

Bennett completed 19 of 31 passes for 181 yards and scored two rushing touchdowns in the Rams' 34-0 preseason victory over the Saints. With Jimmy Garoppolo suspended for the first two games and rookie Ty Simpson still learning, Bennett demonstrated the skills needed to potentially step in if needed. sports24.club

Rams coach Sean McVay praised Bennett's improvement, noting his "overall command" and good decisions. "I love the fact that he used his legs," McVay said. However, Bennett has never taken a snap in a regular season game, developing exclusively through preseason play.
