Rams' Jimmy Garoppolo: Not slated to play Saturday
Jimmy Garoppolo is not in line to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Chargers, Eric Edholm of NFL.com reports.Given that top QB Matthew Stafford is still hampered by a back issue, it's no surprise that the Los Angeles Rams are playing it safe with their veteran backup, with Stu Jackson of the team's official site having previously relayed via coach Sean McVay that Garoppolo won't play in any preseason games. In that context, Stetson Bennett and Dresser Winn are available to handle signal-caller reps this weekend.

Rams' Jimmy Garoppolo: Likely to sit Saturday
Jimmy Garoppolo is not in line to play in the Los Angeles Rams' preseason opener against the Cowboys on Saturday, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.With Matthew Stafford sidelined due to an aggravated disc in his back, Garoppolo has been handling most of the first-team reps throughout training camp. Klein relays that head coach Sean McVay typically doesn't play starters and other significant players during preseason games, so Stetson Bennett and Dresser Winn would be in line to take snaps under center Saturday if Garoppolo is indeed sidelined.

Rams' Jimmy Garoppolo: Looking good with first team
Jimmy Garoppolo has impressed with the first-team offense while Matthew Stafford (back) has been sidelined, and head coach Sean McVay said Garoppolo "was awesome" during Tuesday's session, Stu Jackson and Wyatt Miller of the Los Angeles Rams' official site report.Garoppolo appears in line to handle the bulk of first-team reps throughout training camp and the preseason, with McVay saying Wednesday that Stafford is week-to-week due to an aggravated disc in his back, per Grant Gordon of NFL.com. McVay downplayed the severity of Stafford's injury and said he expects the 37-year-old to be ready for Week 1, but in the meantime at least Garoppolo will see continued opportunities to build chemistry with top wide receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. However, given McVay's track record, it's likely Garoppolo and the rest of the first-team unit won't take the field during Saturday's preseason opener against the Cowboys.

Rams' Jimmy Garoppolo: Re-signs with Rams
Jimmy Garoppolo is re-signing with the Los Angeles Rams on a one-year contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.This comes as no surprise, after Garoppolo threw for 334 yards and two touchdowns in a Week 18 loss to Seattle while mostly playing with other backups (against the Seahawks' starters). It was an impressive performance, and a far cry from what Garoppolo did the year before in seven games for the Raiders (seven TDs, nine interceptions). In any case, he's 33 years old and will return to Los Angeles as Matthew Stafford's backup.

Rams' Jimmy Garoppolo: Logs single start in backup role
Jimmy Garoppolo completed 24 of 41 passes for 334 yards, two touchdowns and an interception during the 2024 regular season, adding two rushing attempts for five yards.In his lone appearance of the season Week 18, Garoppolo showcased his abilities to potential suitors and performed well, completing touchdown passes to Tyler Higbee and Tyler Johnson with mostly backups on the field for the Los Angeles Rams. Head coach Sean McVay may be inclined to bring the 31-year-old Garoppolo, an unrestricted free agent, back for another round as the primary backup to Matthew Stafford if the price is right, as third-stringer Stetson Bennett has yet to take a snap in a regular-season game and had a miserable preseason with five interceptions and a lost fumble over two starts.

Rams' Jimmy Garoppolo: Healthy results in spot-start
Jimmy Garoppolo completed 27 of 41 pass attempts for 334 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while rushing twice for five yards in Sunday's 30-25 loss to Seattle.Head coach Sean McVay opted to rest several key starters with the NFC West title locked up, opening the door for Garoppolo to make his 2024 debut with the Los Angeles Rams. The veteran quarterback performed admirably given the circumstances, almost leading a second-unit offense to victory while posting solid fantasy numbers. The 31-year-old did well in this spot-start to possibly earn some looks from potential QB-thin rosters this upcoming offseason as his one-year deal with Los Angeles nears a close. Matthew Stafford is in line to re-take the reins of McVay's offense in the first round of the playoffs in a home tilt against either Minnesota or Detroit next weekend.

Rams' Jimmy Garoppolo: Starting Week 18
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay confirmed Wednesday that Jimmy Garoppolo will replace Matthew Stafford as the team's starting quarterback for Sunday's game against Seattle, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.Garoppolo gets his first start of the season in a tough situation to put up good numbers, as the Rams will likely be resting multiple starters against a Seahawks defense that should have most of its top players available. The 33-year-old Garoppolo didn't appear in any of the Rams' first 16 games after signing a one-year contract with the team in March, but he most recently made seven appearances (six starts) for the Raiders in 2023, completing 110 of 169 pass attempts (65.1 percent) for 1,205 yards, seven touchdowns and nine interceptions while adding 39 yards on 20 carries.

Rams' Jimmy Garoppolo: Likely to start in Week 18
Head coach Sean McVay suggested Monday that Jimmy Garoppolo will be the Los Angeles Rams' starting quarterback in Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports. "I think he's a really, really good football player and I'm looking forward to seeing him just go play the way he's capable of," McVay said of Garoppolo. "It's a great challenge against an excellent defense that's hitting their stride at the right time."While they can claim the No. 3 seed in the NFC playoffs with a win over the Seahawks, the Rams are already assured no worse than the fourth seed -- and the home game in the wild-card round that comes with it -- after having already clinched the NFC West title. McVay suggested that he'll prioritize resting the team's top players and avoiding injuries rather than going all in to secure the No. 3 seed, meaning that Matthew Stafford will likely be inactive for the contest while Garoppolo steps in to direct the offense. With 63 career NFL starts on his resume, the 33-year-old Garoppolo is about as battle-tested as it gets for a backup quarterback, but he has yet to make his Rams debut, as Stafford has played every snap through Los Angeles' first 16 games.

The NFL reinstated Jimmy Garoppolo from his two-game suspension Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.Garoppolo was suspended for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy before the season, and he's now been reinstated after missing the Los Angeles Rams' first two games.

Rams' Jimmy Garoppolo: Won't play Sunday
Jimmy Garoppolo is not expected to play in Sunday's preseason game against the Cowboys, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.Garoppolo did not appear among the quarterbacks suited up pregame, leaving Stetson Bennett as Dresser Winn to handle the Los Angeles Rams' signal-caller duties Sunday, according to Stu Jackson of the team's official site. Garoppolo is expected to serve as the No. 2 quarterback this season, though he'll still miss the first two regular-season games while serving a suspension for a violation of the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances. Therefore, Bennett and Winn are set to compete for the backup quarterback job to begin the 2024 campaign, so it's not too surprising that they'll be the ones under center for the team Sunday. Garoppolo's next chance to suit up this preseason will come during Saturday's exhibition against the Chargers.
