STACKED’s take

NeutralDepth Chart

Simpson listed as QB3 but McVay treats him as 2A/2B with Bennett.

Simpson is listed as the third QB on the depth chart but Sean McVay views him as 2B alongside Stetson Bennett rather than a clear emergency third; McVay has not publicly decided who will be the actual QB2 vs. emergency QB3, describing the situation as fluid and both quarterbacks expected to receive reps in practice.
