Rams declared WR Tutu Atwell, WR CJ Daniels, OL Bill Murray, TE Max Klare and QB Ty Simpson inactive for Week 1 against the 49ers.

10 September 2026

The Rams acquired Atwell via trade in August. Although he already knows the system, coach Sean McVay evidently feels that Atwell is unnecessary for this one. Incumbent QB Stetson Bennett has officially defeated Simpson for the QB2 job. Simpson is inactive, but has been labeled the emergency third quarterback.
