Stetson Bennett Unlikely To Return This Year

Stetson Bennett Unlikely To Return This Year

one year ago

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said he's not ready to say that rookie quarterback Stetson Bennett (illness) won't be back with the team this year, "but it's probably less likely than it is likely he would be." Bennett has been on the Non-Football Illness list since Sept. 13. The Rams QB depth could be tested in the weeks to come with Matthew Stafford (thumb) day-to-day with a sprained right UCL in his thumb that he suffered in the Week 8 blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The 26-year-old Bennett will most likely have to wait to make his NFL debut until 2024. If Stafford is ruled out for Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers this weekend, Brett Rypien would be called on to make his first start of the year.
