Sean McVay: No Timetable on Potential Return of Rookie Quarterback Stetson Bennett

Rams coach Sean McVay won't give a timeline for QB Stetson Bennett's return, but says he's doing well. The team supports him.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay has made it clear that he will not provide a specific timeline for the potential return of rookie quarterback Stetson Bennett, who is currently on the non-football/illness list. However, McVay did mention that Bennett is in good spirits and doing well. The Rams have chosen to respect Bennett's privacy and have refrained from sharing any further details about his condition.

Bennett, who had an impressive college career at the University of Georgia, caught the attention of the Rams and was selected in the fourth round of the NFL Draft. Despite facing some off-field issues, Bennett has shown promise during the preseason. Originally expected to serve as a backup to Matthew Stafford, Bennett has had to take a step back as he deals with his personal challenges.

Although there have been concerns about Bennett's smaller stature compared to other NFL quarterbacks, the Rams saw potential in him and signed him to a four-year rookie contract. Bennett's time at Georgia showcased his abilities both as a passer and a runner. In fact, he led the Bulldogs to an impressive 29-1 record in his last two seasons and even made it to the Heisman Trophy finalist list.

The Rams' decision to draft Bennett and their continued support during his off-field struggles demonstrate their belief in his talent. His achievements at Georgia, including winning back-to-back national titles, further prove his capabilities as a quarterback. While the Rams patiently wait for Bennett's return, they remain hopeful that he will overcome his personal battles and make a strong comeback to the field.
