Rams Won’t Know More About Aaron Donald’s Possible Return Before Breaking Camp, McVay Says
McVay said Donald’s status is trending upward, and the Rams will wait until they return to Woodland Hills to decide on a comeback.
- Following the team's first practice in full pads on Friday, Sean McVay, head coach of the Los Angeles Rams, confirmed that discussions regarding Aaron Donald's potential return are ongoing, though no decision will occur during training camp.
- The Rams' trade for defensive end Myles Garrett has reportedly tempted Donald to consider a comeback, despite the 35-year-old player being retired since the end of the 2023 season.
- A three-time NFL Defensive Player and eight-time All-Pro, Donald retired as the franchise leader with 111 sacks in 154 games, helping Los Angeles win a title following the 2021 season.
- McVay noted the defensive lineman's status is "going in the right direction," with "an arrow" that's "trending upwards," though the organization and Donald must still work out compensation terms.
- The Rams, currently training at Loyola Marymount University through Aug. 6, will address the situation once they return to their facility in Woodland Hills, McVay indicated.
