Sean McVay names Rams backup quarterback for first 2 games

Despite a shaky preseason, Rams head coach has named Stetson Bennett as the backup to Matthew Stafford over the first two games of the season. While Jimmy Garoppolo is serving a two-game suspension, Bennett will be the next man up should L.A. need to call on a backup quarterback for Stafford in the first two weeks.

Should everything go as planned, the Rams will never have to put Bennett into a game anyway.

On the ABC7 broadcast, Sean McVay said Dresser Winn will start today's preseason finale against the Texans and that Stetson Bennett will be the Rams' backup QB for Weeks 1 and 2 while Jimmy Garoppolo serves his suspension.
