Rams quarterback Stetson Bennett declined to specify the reason for his season away from football but did confirm it fell under the umbrella of mental health.
During the final rep of practice Tuesday, Rams quarterback Stetson Bennett dropped back and — under the watchful eye of coach Sean McVay — completed a long pass to a receiver. It was only a developmental drill. Still, it was another step forward for Bennett, who has returned to the Rams after spending his rookie season away from the team while on the NFL’s non-football injury/illness list. “It’s been cool to get back,” Bennett said afterward, adding, “Great to get back to football.
In March, the Rams signed Jimmy Garoppolo, giving them a proven veteran who has won regular-season and playoff games. Garoppolo is suspended for the first two games, however — against the Detroit Lions and Arizona Cardinals — for violating the NFL performance-enhancing substances policy while playing for the Las Vegas Raiders. So Bennett’s ability to step in for Stafford early in the season could be more important than last season.
