Los Angeles Rams quarterback Stetson Bennett shed a little more light on what kept him sidelined from the team and cost him his entire 2023 season.
Stetson Bennett’s mysterious absence from the Los Angeles Rams last season was an underlying storyline as the only real update was the former Georgia star saying it was mental health related. Bennett declined to talk about the specifics in May when he appeared at Rams practice. He opened up a little bit more about his time on the reserve/non-football injury list in an interview on the 'Unreserved with TJ Callaway' podcast. He said he was 'home.
He said in May it was 'great to get back to football, it’s what I love.' He added that he had expected to return to the team eventually, and made the decision after several talks with Rams brass, admitting the decision was difficult, but 'one we thought necessary at the time.' Bennett was then asked directly if the reason he stepped away fell under the 'umbrella of mental health.
It's been a pleasure working with him,' offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur said of Bennett in May. 'I'm not going to get too much into specifics obviously, but he's in a good place and he is out here… He's come to work every single day focused with the intent of getting better and that's all you can ask these guys. If their intent is right, which Stetson’s is right now, that's all you can ask and it's definitely showing.
