Carson Wentz has officially become a member of the Los Angeles Rams as their backup quarterback. The news of Wentz signing with the NFC West team broke on Tuesday, and the Rams made the official announcement on Wednesday. A photo of Wentz at the team's facility was shared, signaling his arrival and presumably his contract signing.

Wentz has been without a team since being released by the Commanders in February. After spending a year with the Washington team, he was unable to reverse his career's downward trajectory, which began when he fell out of favor with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020 due to a long stretch of subpar performances.

The signing of Wentz means that he will take over the backup quarterback position from Brett Rypien. Rypien was released by the Rams on Tuesday, clearing the way for Wentz to assume responsibility behind starter Matthew Stafford. Stafford recently missed Week Nine due to a thumb injury, but he is expected to make a full recovery and be ready for Week 11 after the team's bye week.

In the event that Stafford is unable to play, Wentz will likely take the field for the first time since Week 17 of the previous season. This opportunity will provide him with a chance to showcase his skills and contribute to the Rams' offense. As the Rams continue their push for success in the NFL, the addition of Carson Wentz adds depth and experience to their quarterback roster.

The Rams will now rely on Wentz's abilities as a backup, providing solid support to Matthew Stafford and ensuring a strong quarterback presence on the team. With his arrival, Wentz becomes part of a talented squad that aims to continue their winning ways on the field.
