Aaron Donald Tests Comeback With Rams Workout, Decision Still Unmade

A pads workout that Donald conducted to test his readiness leaves the Rams assessing a limited-snap role with no contract announced.

Overview

  • Video and multiple reports show Donald undertook a pads-style workout at the Rams’ practice facility on Friday to see how his body and mind reacted to being back on the field.
  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter described the session as a deliberate trial and said the Rams have discussed deploying Donald in a limited role of roughly 12–15 snaps per game if he returns.
  • ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and other insiders stress Donald has not made a firm decision to unretire and has been visiting the Rams facility on and off for months.
  • Social posts from Myles Garrett and Davante Adams have amplified fan expectations, but no formal offer, roster move, or contract details have been announced and salary-cap and roster mechanics remain unresolved.
  • If he signs, pairing Donald with Garrett would materially strengthen the Rams’ pass rush and change Super Bowl projections, though practical hurdles and the fast-approaching training camp timeline still shape the next steps.
