Bennett is set to work as the Rams' backup quarterback behind Matthew Stafford on Thursday versus San Francisco, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Rookie Ty Simpson has been deemed Los Angeles' emergency third quarterback for the season opener in Melbourne, Australia, leaving Bennett to serve as Stafford's backup. Bennett has yet to take an NFL regular-season snap and doesn't figure to see action Thursday unless Stafford has to exit early or the game turns into a blowout by either side.
