Garrett Electrifies Rams as Donald Tests His Body Before Possible Return

Garrett’s Day 1 impact raises expectations for Los Angeles’s defense and the team awaits Aaron Donald’s fitness decision to know how much more the unit can improve.

Overview

  • On Sunday the Rams held their first full training‑camp practice with Myles Garrett lining up on the edge and making visible plays in 11‑on‑11 work, prompting coaches and teammates to say his presence immediately energized the defense.
  • Head coach Sean McVay said the team is in contact with Aaron Donald and that Donald is running a private regimen to test his body before deciding whether to come out of retirement, with no timeline set for a return.
  • The 49ers opened camp with Nick Bosa and Fred Warner cleared to practice while the team placed four players on the active/PUP list and limited Kyle Shanahan’s role as he recovers from a car accident.
  • Other clubs are using PUP designations and rehab timelines to shape early availability: the Seahawks began camp with four players on PUP and coach Mike Macdonald said RB Zach Charbonnet will likely start the season on that list.
  • Training camps remain in the non‑contact phase so coaches are focused on installs, evaluations and managing recovery; PUP status and how players respond in pads will determine who is ready for the preseason and opening‑day rosters.
