Bennett leads first-team offense on Day 1; coordinator praises his competitiveness and rally effect.

Bennett took every rep with the Rams' first-team offense on Day 1 of training camp 2026, with Matthew Stafford on a scheduled rest day. Offensive coordinator Nate Scheelhaase praised Bennett's competitiveness, noting that "guys would rally around him" and that he "competes" with a mentality that has been his "calling card since the jump." Bennett will get more opportunities in one month than he's had in the last three years combined, and if he wins the backup job, his entire future could change; the source notes it's "not the most ludicrous possibility in the world" given the bar set by previous Rams backups like John Wolford.
