ESPN's Sarah Barshop believes it's "likely" the Rams will "take a modified approach with the number of throws [Matthew Stafford] takes leading up to the season."
In other words, like last year, expect Stafford to not be given all of the reps in training camp or (likely any of them) in preseason. This is mentioned as Barshop notes that the Rams have yet to address backup quarterback. Kirk Cousins, who was mentioned as a potential backup option, signed with the Raiders late last week. McVay said at the meetings that Jimmy Garoppolo's return is "less likely than likely." As things currently stand, Stetson Bennett would be getting a lot of training camp reps with the 1s. We expect there'll be a different answer than that when it's actually August, but that's where things stand now.
