Overview
- The Rams logged a second official workout for Aaron Donald that was reported on the NFL transaction wire after he used team equipment and personnel, a step the team says is part of his evaluation process.
- Coach Sean McVay has repeatedly said the team will not impose a deadline and that Donald has earned the right to decide on his own timetable.
- Multiple insiders described the sessions as conditioning and medical checks to see how Donald’s body acclimates after two years away from the NFL and emphasized that no final decision has been made.
- If Donald returns he and the Rams must renegotiate how to handle roughly $30–31 million tied to his existing deal and work through roster rules such as PUP/NFI designations and the reinstatement deadline after Week 13.
- The Rams are already roster-strong after adding Myles Garrett so any Donald comeback would likely be managed in a limited snap role, while the drawn-out process has produced public impatience and occasional teasing from Donald’s family on social media.
