Aaron Donald Rumored to Return to Rams After Garrett Trade

The Los Angeles Rams acquired pass‑rusher Myles Garrett, prompting a surge of speculation that former defensive tackle Aaron Donald might end his two‑year retirement and rejoin the team. Donald has hinted publicly that Garrett’s arrival has made him reconsider, saying he needs to see if “the fire can light back up.” Head coach Sean McVay confirmed he has spoken with Donald and would welcome him back if the player decides to return. The discussion has generated a range of side reactions: Donald’s wife Erica posted a brief, amused reply on X; former teammate Cooper Kupp sent a joking text to Donald; and actor‑superfan O’Shea Jackson Jr. mailed a sales pitch urging Donald to sign on for another ring. No formal decision has been announced.
