First-round pick Simpson benched as emergency QB behind Bennett despite strong preseason.

Despite being selected No. 13 overall in the first round and posting an encouraging preseason (21-of-25 for 190 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs in debut; 192 yards over final two exhibition games), Simpson was inactive for the Rams' season opener against the 49ers in Melbourne, designated as emergency quarterback behind starter Matthew Stafford and backup Stetson Bennett. Sean McVay praised his command after the opening performance, but the decision reveals the Rams favored experience for their historic opener despite Simpson's draft status and preseason flashes.
