The Los Angeles Rams experienced a setback in their preseason finale as quarterback Matthew Caldwell sustained an injury in the fourth quarter. Caldwell, a rookie undrafted free agent, had just entered the game in relief of first-round draft pick Ty Simpson after it was assumed Simpson's night was finished.
Before his exit, Caldwell completed 5 of 10 passes for 31 yards and threw one touchdown. His performance was a highlight, but the nature of his injury remains unclear. The Rams did not have their starting quarterback, Matthew Stafford, or Stetson Bennett IV, participate in the game.
Caldwell's injury complicates his chances of making the roster, as the Rams already have Stafford, Bennett, and Simpson in their quarterback lineup. Despite the positive tone of his earlier performance, this injury marks a disappointing end to the night for Caldwell.
Further updates on Caldwell's condition are expected as the Rams prepare for the upcoming season.
