Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is on the field for practice Monday for the first time in training camp. If his return to practice is short-lived and he misses time, who might start in place of Stafford?
The Rams currently have four quarterbacks – including Stafford – listed on their unofficial preseason depth chart, which is available on the team website. All three of the other quarterbacks have also been with Los Angeles for multiple seasons entering 2025.
Stafford's return to practice Monday is his first action since June after dealing with an aggravated disc in his back, and it's a good sign for his availability come Week 1 of the regular season. Given the lingering nature of the back injury, it's possible the veteran's comeback is short-lived.
With that in mind, here's what to know about the Rams' quarterbacks room as of training camp in 2025:
MATTHEW STAFFORD: Rams QB worked out Saturday, per coach Sean McVay
Rams QB depth chart
Here's who the Rams currently have listed on their most recent unofficial depth chart:
Matthew Stafford
Jimmy Garoppolo
Stetson Bennett IV
Dresser Winn
Backup Jimmy Garoppolo would be in line to start for the Rams in Stafford's stead if the veteran ends up missing any time.
Garoppolo originally signed with the Rams, his fourth team, last offseason, less than one week after the Las Vegas Raiders released him. Garoppolo lasted just one season into the three-year, $67.5 million contract he signed with the Raiders in 2023.

After his original one-year deal with the Rams ended this offseason, he re-signed on another one-year deal in March.
Bennett is entering his third pro season after the Rams drafted him in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He has played just about every snap under center for Los Angeles in the preseason as Garoppolo and the rest of the team's offensive first-stringers watch from the bench.
In his most recent outing, Bennett completed 28 of his 40 pass attempts (70%) against the Chargers Saturday for 324 yards, three touchdowns and an interception.
Winn signed a deal with the Rams in June for his third stint with the team.
He previously signed with them as an undrafted free agent in 2023, was waived, spent time with the CFL's Edmonton Elks' practice roster, was released, then re-joined the Rams as a member of their practice squad during the 2023 season. Winn spent 2024 out of football, played for the UFL's Memphis Showboats this spring, then re-joined Los Angeles for his third stint in June.
