The Rams will not play most of their starters in the preseason opener today, which will let their first-round rookie quarterback Ty Simpson acquire some in-game experience. The former Alabama player is battling with Stetson Bennett for the second-string position behind Matthew Stafford. <\/p>\n

Notably, Simpson threw for 28 touchdowns and nearly 3,600 yards in his final collegiate season at Alabama.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs will also rest most of their starters in tonight\u2019s game, so the Kansas City offense will be led by quarterbacks Justin Fields and Garrett Nussmeier. <\/p>\n

The quarterbacks will be joined in the backfield by rookie running back Emmett Johnson and fourth-year player Emari Demercado. These two players will battle for the second-string position behind star player Kenneth Walker. <\/p>\n
