Simpson's strong preseason debut isn't enough to overcome Bennett's depth chart advantage.

Simpson, the No. 13 overall pick in April's NFL Draft, made the QB2 competition interesting with an impressive preseason opener against Kansas City, completing 21 of 25 passes for 190 yards and two touchdowns. However, Bennett's subsequent strong performance and higher practice reps suggest Simpson is behind in the depth chart race. McVay confirmed Simpson will play Thursday against the Chargers, but the source notes this lack of hesitation contrasts with McVay's noncommittal answer about Bennett, implying Bennett is being protected as the likely backup.
