Overview
- The Rams logged an official tryout for Aaron Donald at their Woodland Hills facility this week, and coach Sean McVay publicly praised Donald’s performance as "outstanding."
- Donald has not announced an unretirement decision and told fans he "doesn't know yet," with multiple insiders saying a choice could come within days.
- If Donald signs, the Rams have sketched a staged reintroduction that could limit him to roughly 30 to 40 snaps in the Week 1 opener in Australia while his workload is managed.
- Before any contract can be finalized the player and team must complete medical and conditioning clearances and resolve roster and salary mechanics tied to his prior deal.
- Donald retired after the 2023 season as one of the league’s most decorated defenders, and his possible return follows the Rams’ June trade for Myles Garrett that reignited his interest.
