Rams’ Stetson Bennett is getting back in form after improving mental health

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, left, Matthew Stafford, center, and Stetson Bennett warm up during the NFL football team’s organized team activities in Thousand Oaks. “Yeah,” Bennett said, “I’d say that.” Bennett’s future with the team remains to be determined but McVay said last week that Bennett “had a couple good days and it’s been good having him out here.” The Rams selected Bennett in the fourth round of last year’s draft to serve as Matthew Stafford’s backup and, possibly, his successor. “If their intent is right, which Stet’s is right now, that’s all you can ask, and it’s definitely showing.” Bennett, 26, said he was nervous last week during his first day of practice. “Hadn’t played football in a while and hadn’t talked to dudes in a huddle,” he said, adding, “A lot of nerves the first day, but it’s gone, I wouldn’t say seamlessly, but it’s gotten better each day just like you try to make it.” Bennett, a Georgia native, said his time spent at home was valuable and he was thankful that general manager Les Snead and McVay “and everybody involved” allowed him to leave and now return.
