Tosses two TDs on Saturday
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.
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…read more

Inactive vs. 49ers
Bennett (coach's decision) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game versus San Francisco, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
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.

Roster spot remains intact
The Rams are expected to keep Bennett on the 53-man roster behind Jimmy Garoppolo and Matthew Stafford, Cameron DaSilva of USAToday reports.
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…read more

Will be QB2 with Garoppolo out
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.
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.

Misses practice

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.

Will be backup for Week 1 and 2
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.
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…read more

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

Plays whole game Sunday
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.
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…read more

Back with team
Bennett (illness) has been participating in the Rams' OTAs this spring, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
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…read more

Future in L.A. looking uncertain
Head coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that he's uncertain whether Bennett (illness) will remain with the Rams in 2024, saying it's "a conversation for another time," Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Bennett, a 2023 fourth-round pick, spent his entire rookie campaign on the reserve/NFI list due to an undisclosed non-football illness. His absence was felt during the portions of the season in which Matthew Stafford missed time, as the Rams struggled to find answers while cycling through an unimpressive carousel of backup options. McVay said he thinks Bennett is "doing better," but that he "wouldn't be in a position to answer that accurately right now."

May not return for 2023
Head coach Sean McVay told reporters Monday that it is less likely that Bennett (illness) will return to the team this season, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Bennett was placed on the reserve/NFI list on Sept. 13 with an illness, though Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reported at the time that McVay did not expand on the specifics of the illness "out of respect for the particulars and the specifics." With Matthew Stafford sustaining a UCL sprain in his right thumb in the Rams' 43-20 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday, Bennett would have been in line to take over as the backup QB behind Brett Rypien if Stafford were to miss time, but it appears as though…read more

Dealing with illness
Bennett's placement on the reserve/NFI list Wednesday was due to an illness, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: When Rams coach Sean McVay was initially asked about Bennett on Wednesday, he declined to indicate the nature of the issue that resulted in the quarterback landing on the reserve/NFI list. It has since been made clear that Bennett is dealing with an illness, though McVay declined to elaborate "out of respect for the particulars and the specifics." Bennett had been managing a shoulder injury for several weeks, but that appears unrelated to Wednesday's transaction.

Goes to NFI list
The Rams placed Bennett on the reserve/NFI list Wednesday, Greg Beacham of The Associated Press reports.
Analysis: It's not clear what precisely prompted the move, partially because Coach Sean McVay declined to explain it to reporters. Bennett had reportedly been dealing with shoulder soreness ahead of Week 1, so it could be that, but for now all that is known for certain is that the Rams will need a new backup quarterback for the immediate future.

Could head to injured reserve
Coach Sean McVay said Friday that Bennett (shoulder) could be placed on injured reserve this week, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Bennett has been battling arm soreness much of the summer and struggled in the preseason. Brett Rypien will serve as Matthew Stafford's backup for however long Bennett is sidelined.

Out Week 1
Bennett has been ruled out for Sunday's season opener against the Seahawks due to a right shoulder injury, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Rams will call up Brett Rypien from the practice squad to serve as their backup quarterback spot behind Matthew Stafford. Bennett has been dealing with arm soreness through training camp, culminating in a disappointing preseason finale where he completed just four of nine passes for 14 yards and two interceptions. Bennett's status beyond Week 1 is unclear as of now.

Struggles in limited action
Bennett completed four of nine passes for 14 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions in the Rams' 41-0 preseason loss to the Broncos on Saturday night.
Analysis: Bennett drew the start but struggled for the majority of his three drives. The rookie capped off his final possession with an interception at the Broncos' 37-yard line on a pass intended for Demarcus Robinson, putting an ugly finish to what had been a solid preseason coming into the night. Bennett had completed 32 of 53 passes for 333 yards with a touchdown and an interception over the first pair of exhibitions, and it now remains to be seen whether the Rams will opt to keep a third quarterback…read more

Extended action again Saturday
Bennett completed 15 of 24 passes for 142 yards with no touchdowns and one interception and rushed once for four yards in the Rams' 34-17 preseason loss to the Raiders on Saturday night.
Analysis: Bennett didn't quite put up the same caliber of numbers as he did during the preseason-opening win over the Chargers last Saturday night, but he still logged valuable reps and put together a solid performance. The fact the rookie fourth-round pick has been given such an extensive look over the first two preseason games could theoretically mean he's being considered for the No. 2 job, but the more likely scenario is that head coach Sean McVay might be contemplating keeping both Brett Rypien and…read more

Impressive in pro debut
Bennett completed 17 of 29 passes for 191 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and rushed twice for two yards in the Rams' 34-17 preseason loss to the Chargers on Saturday night.
Analysis: Bennett came in on the Rams' fourth possession and remained in the game the rest of the way, overcoming a slow start that saw him open with three straight incompletions. The rookie fourth-round selection and two-time college national champion connected with Puka Nacua for a 10-yard touchdown pass late in the first half for his first NFL scoring toss, and he also hit the fifth-round pick for a 17-yard gain on his first completion. Bennett could conceivably beat out Brett Rypien for the No. 2 job…read more
