Brett Rypien, who is a member of the Rams’ practice squad, will serve as Los Angeles’ back up quarterback behind Matthew Stafford in Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Bennett was the 128th pick of the 2023 NFL draft. He is expected to be Los Angeles’ backup quarterback when healthy.

The Rams are hoping to have a more successful season in 2023 after finishing third in the NFC West with a record of 5-12 last season.
