Yahoo Sports NFL on Stetson Bennett
From the article
Bennett has started both preseason games. He received nine of the Rams' 15 second-team practice reps Monday, compared with six for Simpson. And when McVay was asked whether Bennett would play Thursday against the Chargers, he said he hadn't decided. When the question turned to Simpson, there was no hesitation. 'Oh yeah, Ty's definitely going to play,' McVay said.
STACKED’s take
Bennett's practice reps and preseason starts signal he's the likely Rams QB2 over Simpson.
Bennett has started both preseason games and received nine of the Rams' 15 second-team practice reps Monday, compared with six for Simpson, signaling he is the likely QB2 despite McVay's public noncommittal stance. McVay said he hadn't decided if Bennett would play Thursday against the Chargers, but immediately confirmed Simpson would play, suggesting Bennett is being protected like a backup the team trusts for regular season action. Bennett impressed in the second preseason game against the Saints, completing 19 of 31 passes for 181 yards and rushing for two touchdowns in the first half, including a clutch off-balance 16-yard completion to Tyler Scott under pressure that drew praise from McVay and center Coleman Shelton for his command and conviction.
