Overview
- The Rams opened training camp without Aaron Donald on the roster while coach Sean McVay confirmed the player is still deciding whether to end his two-season retirement.
- McVay said Donald is following a very strict, regimented program to see how his body responds and that the Rams will try to make a comeback happen if he wants to play.
- Multiple outlets have reported Donald has worked out at the team facility, including a reported full‑pads session, though the player has not publicly confirmed his intentions.
- Some reports say Donald is 'leaning toward' returning but no contract or official announcement exists and salary‑cap and compensation mechanics remain unresolved.
- If he returns the pairing with newly acquired Myles Garrett would materially boost the Rams’ pass rush and alter snap plans, with the club viewing contract and roster hurdles as likely solvable.
