Bennett (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Rams didn't indicate that Bennett will serve as an emergency quarterback. That means he'll observe Sunday's game in street clothes while Jimmy Garoppolo serves as the Rams' backup quarterback behind Matthew Stafford.

Bennett completed 28 of 40 passes for 324 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Saturday's 23-22 preseason win over the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett has now played the entirety of both of the Rams' preseason contests and has performed well in both. Overall, he's completed 44 of 64 passes for 512 yards while throwing five touchdowns as compared to two interceptions. Bennett looks to be locked into the third spot on the depth chart.

Bennett completed 16 of 24 passes for 188 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Saturday's 31-21 preseason win over the Cowboys. He also rushed three times for 11 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett player the entire game with neither Matthew Stafford (back) nor Jimmy Garoppolo suiting up. The third-string quarterback led touchdown drives on each of the Rams' first two possessions, though both were capped by Blake Corum touchdown runs. Bennett was picked off in the third quarter, then finished strong with fourth-quarter touchdown passes of nine yards to Cody Schrader and five yards to Brennan Presley. Bennett seems locked into the third spot on the depth chart ahead of the team's second preseason game Aug. 16 against the Chargers.

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 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.
