McVay Says Entire Rams Roster Is Traveling to Australia, but Aaron Donald's Playing Status Still TBD
- The Los Angeles Rams listed defensive end Aaron Donald as a starter for next Thursday's season opener against the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia, though head coach Sean McVay says his playing status remains undetermined.
- Following his retirement after the 2023 season, the 35-year-old signed a one-year, $20 million deal with the Rams that could reach $30 million with performance incentives.
- Donald underwent a "very strict, regimented process" to prepare for his return, though McVay emphasized the team is not rushing him back and analysts suggest a Week 2 or 3 debut might be more likely.
- While the 49ers are already in Australia acclimating to the time difference, the Rams will travel closer to game day, with McVay expecting all players including Donald to make the trip.
- The star-studded defensive front features Myles Garrett and Kobie Turner, who recorded 24 sacks over three seasons with the Rams, providing significant depth should Donald miss the season opener in Melbourne.
