Bennett (coach's decision) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game versus San Francisco, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Jimmy Garoppolo back, Bennett finds himself the odd man out of the Rams' quarterback depth chart. As long as both Matthew Stafford and Garoppolo remain healthy, that will likely remain unchanged.

The Rams are expected to keep Bennett on the 53-man roster behind Jimmy Garoppolo and Matthew Stafford, Cameron DaSilva of USAToday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bennett would likely have been cut following Garoppolo's reinstatement from a two-game suspension, were it not for the fact that a slew of injuries have provided Los Angeles with plenty of extra roster spots. Still, the 2023 fourth-round pick is coming off a rough preseason, in which he threw five INTs in just two appearances, and it still doesn't appear he has the coaching staff's trust. McVay said Monday that he "didn't want to put [Bennett] in a situation where he has never taken some of the snaps and exchanges," which kept the depth quarterback from entering Week 2's loss to the Cardinals late.

Coach Sean McVay announced Bennett will serve as the Rams' primary backup to begin the season while Jimmy Garoppolo serves his two-game suspension, Stu Jackson of the team's official website reports.

EDGE Analysis

McVay said Bennett "did a good job" this preseason, finishing the summer having gone 41 of 69 passing (59.4 percent) for 437 yards, two touchdowns and five interceptions. He added nothing with his legs, finishing with four yards and one fumble on four attempts. Garoppolo will be Matthew Stafford's backup once his suspension concludes. The Rams could then face a decision on whether to keep Bennett on the 53-man roster or subject him to waivers.

Bennett missed practice Monday while tending to a family issue, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bennett is expected to return to practice Wednesday, according to head coach Sean McVay. The Georgia product is slated to be the Rams' backup quarterback for the first two weeks of the season while Jimmy Garoppolo serves a suspension.

Bennett will be the Rams' backup quarterback for the first two weeks of the regular season while Jimmy Garoppolo serves his suspension, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Garoppolo was suspended two games for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances, opening the door for Bennett to serve as the backup to Matthew Stafford to open the regular season. Bennett played in the first two preseason games, but he was held out of the Rams' preseason finale against the Texans on Saturday, with Dresser Winn starting under center for the entire contest. In his last game against the Chargers on Aug. 17, Bennett completed 17 of 31 pass attempts for 213 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

Bennett completed 17 of 31 pass attempts for 213 yards, a touchdown, an interception and a fumble lost in Saturday's preseason win over the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Bennett started and finished his second preseason game in as many weeks as starter Matthew Stafford and backup Jimmy Garoppolo (suspension) were sat by the coaching staff. The former Georgia star did not see the field as a rookie in 2023, but has now played every snap for the Rams so far this preseason. A repeat scenario figures to take place in the final exhibition before Bennett's roster situation is finalized behind the veterans on the depth chart.

Bennett played the entire game in Sunday's 13-12 preseason win over the Cowboys, completing 24 of 38 passes for 224 yards and a touchdown with four interceptions.

EDGE Analysis

The Rams' coaching staff elected to sit both Matthew Stafford and Jimmy Garoppolo (suspension) for the preseason opener, instead giving the team's 2023 fourth-round pick a full four quarters to show what he could do. Bennett, who didn't play at all in his rookie season, was predictably rusty, but the Cowboys failed to take full advantage of his turnovers and consistently settled for field goals. That left the door open for the Georgia product to engineer a scoring drive inside the final three minutes of the fourth quarter, and Bennett found depth tight end Miller Forristall for a six-yard touchdown with just four seconds left on the clock. With Garoppolo suspended for the first two games of the regular season, the Rams have plenty of incentive to get Bennett up to speed as quickly as possible, so he could see a hefty workload again Saturday against the Chargers.

Bennett (illness) has been participating in the Rams' OTAs this spring, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bennett, whom the Rams selected in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, spent his entire rookie season on the reserve/non-football illness list for an undisclosed reason. Now that he's back on the field, Bennett is slated to see practice reps this spring behind starter Matthew Stafford and No. 2 quaterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who is in line to miss the first two games of the regular season for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing substances policy. Along with Garoppolo and Bennett, the Rams have Dresser Winn on the offseason roster as backup options behind Stafford.
