CBS Sports NFL analyst Cody Benjamin recognized Bennett's preseason success, too. He called Bennett's performance "commanding," which was one of the more positive one-word evaluations of the quarterbacks who played in Week 1. It helps, too, that Rams head coach Sean McVay offered words of praise for Bennett as well.

When the Los Angeles Rams drafted quarterback Stetson Bennett out of Georgia, the idea was that he could be the long-term backup quarterback. In other words, he could be a ‘set it and forget it’ type of player at the position.

Sean McVay’s latest remarks on Stetson Bennett could shift how the Los Angeles Rams approach their quarterback future.

Concern is growing regarding a back injury to Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. The veteran, getting ready to enter his 17th NFL season, still has not practiced in training camp with the regular season opener a little more than three weeks away.

There's some uncertainty surrounding Matthew Stafford's return from a back injury, and Los Angeles Rams fans are beginning to worry as the veteran continues to miss practice time. However, according to the team, there's no reason to panic. The Rams remain optimistic.

McVay has repeatedly downplayed the severity of Stafford’s latest injury, claiming the quarterback could play in games if the Rams were in the regular season. McVay stepped back slightly from that stance Monday, saying: “I don’t know that. I think he still probably would be able to play it, just based on how he feels.”
