McVay Says 35-Year-Old Aaron Donald Is Weighing Rams Return After 2 Seasons Away

3 articles · Updated · NFL.com · Jul 23

Summary

  • Sean McVay said Aaron Donald is still working through his decision on a Rams comeback, with Los Angeles prepared to wait beyond the start of training camp Saturday.
  • Two seasons out of football, Donald reportedly wants to get close to game shape before committing, testing whether he can still perform at his standard.
  • The 10-time Pro Bowler would likely return in a limited role rather than for a full workload, with roughly 25-30 snaps a game seen as enough.
  • That patience reflects the Rams' bigger aim after acquiring Myles Garrett: a January playoff push, not necessarily having Donald ready for Week 1.
