Los Angeles Rams eye Aaron Donald's potential return as training camp progresses

Head coach Sean McVay said the Los Angeles Rams are seeing momentum toward a possible comeback by three‑time Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald, noting “if there’s an arrow, it’s pointing up.” Donald, 35, retired in March 2024 after a career that includes 111 sacks and eight All‑Pro selections, has been working out at the team’s complex and is being tempted by the Rams’ recent trade for fellow defensive star Myles Garrett. McVay emphasized that no decision will be made while the team is at Loyola Marymount University for training camp; a timeline will be clearer once the Rams return to their Woodland Hills facility after Aug 6. Contract terms and Donald’s role remain under discussion, but the organization remains optimistic about adding him back to a defense already bolstered by Garrett and other new acquisitions.
