Does anyone know how long it will be before Bennett can be placed back on the active roster.
I’ve read enough about Stetson being in rehab to believe that’s the issue. Usually Rehab is a 3 month stint. I worked with young people and many had problems. Some of them had substance abuse problems. Several went into rehab. What happened afterwards was unpredictable. One of the biggest F’ups on my crew only needed one stint of rehab to turn his life around. Another who he was good friends with, and is much more intelligent, has been to rehab four times in the last 15 years. So how long do the Rams hold the door open for him until they say that they need to draft another backup? It took Manziel several years to right his ship.
Another point is that people rarely get out of rehab and just instantly go back to their life before that, especially if it’s the life of an NFL QB. There is a lot of pressure in that job. Learning the playbook, meeting expectations of coaches, performing when called on. Leading the team, etc… For a guy recovering from substance abuse that’s a lot to deal with. Maybe he comes back in three months, more likely he comes back to OTAs.
His situation brings up questions of reliability even into the future. I hope it works out but I think it’s too much to ask for an NFL team with an immobile 35 year old QB to be banking on.
