Overview
- NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport called a comeback a “real possibility” on Thursday, reflecting a shift from rumor to a credible scenario.
- Video and multiple reports show Donald running football drills at the Rams’ Woodland Hills facility as a self‑test of his football readiness.
- Donald has not decided to sign and could delay any return until late training camp or into the regular season, with a limited, situational snap plan expected if he comes back.
- Former teammates including Andrew Whitworth and Terron Armstead have publicly encouraged a return, while close observers like Jared Verse urge caution until Donald announces his choice.
- Practical hurdles remain unresolved: the Rams and Donald have not discussed money publicly, cap and roster mechanics need work, and even a part‑time Donald would materially alter Los Angeles’s pass‑rush matchup with Myles Garrett.
