JIMMY GAROPPOLO NEWS

Likely to play in Week 18 Head coach Sean McVay suggested Monday that Garoppolo will serve as the Rams' primary quarterback in Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports. "I th...

Impact While they can claim the No. 3 seed in the NFC playoffs with a win over the Seahawks, the Rams are already assured no worse than the fourth seed -- and the home game in the wild-card round that comes with it -- after having already clinched the NFC West title. McVay suggested that he'll prioritize resting the team's top players and avoiding injuries for Week 18 rather than going all in on securing the No. 3 seed, meaning that normal starting quarterback Matthew Stafford will likely be a healthy inactive or play only limited snaps while Garoppolo either starts or directs the offense for .the bulk of the contest. With 63 career NFL starts on his resume, the 33-year-old Garoppolo is about as a battle-tested as it gets for a backup quarterback, but he has yet to make his Rams debut while Stafford has played every snap through Los Angeles' first 16 games of the season.

Jimmy Garoppolo, Alaric Jackson back with the Rams after 2-game suspensions to start the season

SEPTEMBER 19, 2024 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Reinstated from suspension The NFL reinstated Garoppolo from his two-game suspension Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact 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.

Won't play Sunday Garoppolo is not expected to play in Sunday's preseason game against the Cowboys, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

Impact 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.
