2023-09-14
The Los Angeles Rams have placed backup quarterback Stetson Bennett on the reserved/non-football injury list. Head coach Sean McVay did not want to give specifics about the issue but said it was "bigger than" football. McVay stated that he would keep the details private out of respect for Bennett and the situation.When asked about how Bennett's absence would affect the quarterback room, McVay brushed it off, saying there are bigger things to worry about. Bennett had a successful college career at the University of Georgia, winning back-to-back national championships and going 29-3 under center. In the national championship game against TCU, he had an impressive performance with 18 completions for 304 yards and four touchdowns, as well as rushing for two scores.
However, Bennett has faced challenges in recent months, including being arrested for public intoxication in January. Despite this, he was still drafted by the Rams in the fourth round of the NFL draft in April.
Overall, the Rams are keeping the specifics of Bennett's situation private and focusing on the bigger picture. McVay emphasized the importance of respect for the player and the situation, and he hopes that the media will honor his request to keep the details in-house.
