The Los Angeles Rams encountered a significant challenge during their preseason finale when quarterback Matthew Caldwell suffered an injury late in the game. Caldwell, who is a rookie undrafted free agent, had just taken the field in place of first-round draft pick Ty Simpson, who was thought to have completed his game.

Prior to his exit, Caldwell had a notable performance, connecting on 5 of 10 attempts for a total of 31 yards and scoring one touchdown. However, the specifics of his injury are currently unknown. The Rams were already without their starting quarterback, Matthew Stafford, as well as Stetson Bennett IV, for this game.

Caldwell's injury complicates his prospects for securing a spot on the roster, especially with Stafford, Bennett, and Simpson already in the quarterback rotation. This injury marks a disappointing conclusion to an otherwise promising night for Caldwell. Further updates regarding his condition are anticipated as the Rams gear up for the upcoming season.
