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

• Rams' Stetson Bennett: 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. 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.

• Rams' Stetson Bennett: 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. 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.
