Ty Simpson Remains Backup as Rams Plan to Sit Rookie QB

Los Angeles Rams rookie quarterback Ty Simpson, selected 13th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft after GM Les Snead convinced him to enter the draft early, will not see action this season according to current team plans. Head coach Sean McVay intends to hold Simpson out unless L.A. locks into or is eliminated from playoff contention, keeping Stetson Bennett ahead of him while Carson Beck debuts for Arizona.
