Overview
- Ty Simpson, the Rams' 2026 first-round pick, produced what reporters called his best training-camp practice to date with several impressive throws and quicker release.
- Simpson remains in an active competition with veteran Stetson Bennett for the backup quarterback job while Matthew Stafford stays the established starter.
- Head coach Sean McVay praised Simpson’s progress but emphasized that rookies arrive behind in pro processing and must accumulate reps before a decision is made.
- Camp tape shows clear positives like on-time deep completions and scramble mobility alongside mistakes such as an underthrown pass that nearly became an interception.
- The Rams plan to keep evaluating both quarterbacks through padded practices and preseason opportunities with veteran mentors and QB coach Dave Ragone guiding Simpson’s development.
