THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Rams drafted Stetson Bennett in 2023 with the hope he would be Matthew Stafford's backup in the short term and perhaps become a long-term option at the position.
But last September, the Rams placed Bennett on the reserve/non-football illness list -- something that he said this spring was related to his mental health. That made the Rams' preseason opener on Sunday his first game action in nearly a year.
Bennett played the entire game, throwing four interceptions before he threw a game-winning touchdown pass with 11 seconds to go.
