Analysis

Garoppolo was suspended for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy before the season, and he's now been reinstated after missing the Rams' first two games. Now that he's returned from suspension, expect Garoppolo to serve as the Rams' No. 2 quarterback behind Matthew Stafford, with Stetson Bennett dropping to third on the depth chart.

Analysis

Garoppolo did not appear among the quarterbacks suited up pregame, leaving Stetson Bennett as Dresser Winn to handle the Rams' signal-caller duties Sunday, according to Stu Jackson of the team's official site. Garoppolo is expected to serve as the No. 2 quarterback this season, though he'll still miss the first two regular-season games while serving a suspension for a violation of the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances. Therefore, Bennett and Winn are set to compete for the backup quarterback job to begin the 2024 campaign, so it's not too surprising that they'll be the ones under center for the team Sunday. Garoppolo's next chance to suit up this preseason will come during Saturday's exhibition against the Chargers.
