The 2026 NFL preseason kickoff continued through mid-August. The Los Angeles Chargers held a two-day “Back Together Weekend” on Aug. 1–2 at their 14-acre Bolt complex in El Segundo. The YouTube TV-presented event allowed up to 2,000 pre-registered fans to attend open practices, youth flag-football clinics, and creator activations. Head coach Sean Harbaugh expressed confidence in the roster, stating the squad is “more than capable.” Significant attention remains on the potential unretirement of three-time Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald by the Los Angeles Rams. Donald, who retired in March 2024, has been participating in NFL-level training at the Rams' facility to assess his physical readiness. Interest in a comeback has intensified following the Rams’ trade for Myles Garrett, which could create a formidable defensive line if Donald rejoins. As of mid-August, head coach Sean McVay stated the team is not imposing an “invisible deadline” on Donald’s decision, though he expressed hope for a resolution “sooner than later.” McVay emphasized that Donald has earned the right to decide based on personal benchmarks, such as his ability to handle back-to-back days of activity. While Donald remains on the NFL's retired list, he maintains the option to apply for reinstatement. Although reports regarding a potential announcement timeline have shifted multiple times, no official ~~announcement~~ decision has been ~~made, Donald’s decision could impact roster management~~ made as the deadline to finalize 53-man rosters approaches. Earlier activities included the Washington Commanders focusing on red-zone work and kicker competitions under Dan Quinn.
