Overview
- Donald took part in a formal, CBA‑compliant tryout at the Rams’ Woodland Hills complex on Wednesday and the club reported the activity to the NFL transaction wire.
- Rams coach Sean McVay publicly praised the session, saying Donald “looked outstanding” and that he is feeling good while stressing Donald has not announced a decision.
- Insiders, citing ProFootballTalk, say Donald could decide in the coming days and that the Rams have a staged plan to ease him back with roughly 30–40 defensive snaps expected in a Week 1 debut if he signs.
- Any return would still require medical clearance, conditioning checks and likely a contract or roster adjustment to address the remaining salary and cap implications from his prior deal.
- Donald began seriously weighing a comeback after the Rams acquired Myles Garrett in June, a move that would pair two elite pass rushers and materially change Los Angeles’s defensive outlook.
