That has been confirmed by McVay and it’s the correct call given that it is the only live-game experience he’ll get as a rookie. Stetson Bennett Still Needs Live-Game RepsOver the past few years, the Rams have rested their backup quarterback while Bennett has played the entirety of the game. With that said, the Rams’ backup at the time was Jimmy Garoppolo, who didn’t need preseason reps. It’s clear that the Rams trust Bennett as he’s taken every backup quarterback rep throughout training camp. Getting both players live-game experience during the preseason would benefit the Rams more than keeping Bennett on the sideline.
