Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Tuesday that NFL insider Ian Rapoport says Aaron Donald is targeting a Week 2 season debut against the New York Giants.
- Rams coach Sean McVay has not cleared Donald for game action and says the team has made no final decision while Donald continues his ramp-up process.
- Donald signed a one-year deal with Los Angeles in late August after retiring following the 2023 season and did not travel with the team to Melbourne as he worked back to football shape.
- Myles Garrett is expected to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery and to begin a multi-game injured reserve stint, which increases urgency for Donald’s availability.
- Returning at 35 after more than two years away carries recovery and conditioning risks, so team doctors and coaches will retain final say and will evaluate his readiness day to day.
