Overview
- Rams coach Sean McVay said Thursday he expects Aaron Donald to have additional team workouts as the club waits for a final answer.
- Donald has been logged on the NFL transaction wire as a 'tryout' because league rules require teams to report players who use helmets or pads at team facilities.
- Multiple NFL insiders, including ESPN’s Adam Schefter, say Donald seems inclined to come back but no signing has occurred because he is still testing his body and the club must clear him medically and contractually.
- If signed and cleared, pairing Donald with recent acquisition Myles Garrett would materially bolster the Rams’ pass rush, with the team planning a staged comeback for Donald that limits snaps and manages workload.
- The prolonged process has raised fan frustration and legacy concerns for Donald, and commentators note multi‑season comebacks by future Hall of Famers are rare, offering a cautionary historical comparison.
