Overview
- Rams coach Sean McVay confirmed this week that he has met with Aaron Donald and that Donald is “thinking about” unretiring and will go through his own decision process.
- Donald has been seen working out at the Rams’ Woodland Hills facility as he assesses whether he can regain the form and desire to add value on the field.
- Team leaders including Kevin Demoff and Tony Pastoors told fans they will welcome Donald back and do not need him to report for training camp.
- Insiders caution that a formal return could be delayed into training camp or the regular season because the club must resolve a contract, roster slot and roughly $30 million in dead‑money salary‑cap issues.
- If he signs, the expectation is for a limited, rotational role of about 20–30 snaps per game so Donald can contribute without carrying a full-time workload.
