The Rams like Brett Rypien's skills as a starter if he replaces Matthew Stafford but admit the offense will need to adjust to the No. 2 quarterback's abilities.
Quarterback Brett Rypien spent the first eight weeks of the Rams' season taking second-team reps behind starter Matthew Stafford. That meant rarely working with star receiver Cooper Kupp and other starters such as Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell. But with a potential starting role against the Green Bay Packers looming, Rypien this week is working with the first-team offense. “Nice to get some reps, finally, with those guys,” Rypien said after practice Wednesday.
He spent training camp and the preseason working behind Stafford and rookie Stetson Bennett. Before the opener, Bennett was put on the non-injury football list for an unspecified issue. That elevated Rypien to the backup role. With the Broncos, the 6-foot-2, 202-pound Rypien started three of the eight games he played. He passed for four touchdowns, with eight interceptions. In 2020, Rypien engineered a comeback victory over the New York Jets.
