The Los Angeles Rams are in Kansas City today for their preseason opener against the Chiefs, which is the NFL debut for Ty Simpson and the other rookies. Though the Rams are holding out their starters and key players, there are plenty of reasons to watch this first exhibition game. \n Stetson Bennett is starting things off at quarterback, with Simpson coming in in relief, giving Matthew Stafford the day off. On defense, Myles Garrett and the other stars will stay on the sidelines, opening the door for players such as Tim Keenan III and Cam Lampkin to step up. \n We're providing live updates throughout the game, so be sure to follow along below. \n Watch Rams vs. Chiefs on Fubo (free trial) \n Notable players who aren't suiting up \n Ronnie Rivers, Konata Mumpfield, Jordan Whittington, Josaiah Stewart, Tyler Davis and Josh Wallace are not dressed for this game, an indication that their spots on the 53-man roster are probably safe. That's not surprising for Mumpfield, Whittington, Stewart or Davis, but it is a good sign for Rivers and Wallace. \n
