A year after Bennett, a 2023 fourth-round draft pick, was placed on the non-football injury/illness list, he will be in uniform for his first regular-season NFL game.
Bennett won McVay's and general manager Les Snead's confidence with his performances in preseason victories over the Dallas Cowboys and the Chargers, showcasing resilience despite throwing four interceptions.
Bennett said, 'I'm excited… I think it's a really good opportunity to just get locked in, and go be ready if anything happens.'
McVay informed Bennett in an elevator that he wouldn't play in the last preseason game, signifying his role as the backup due to Garoppolo's suspension.
