    Rams' Aaron Donald: Has roster exemption lifted

    Aaron Donald had his roster exemption lifted by the NFL on Friday, per the league's transaction log.After Donald came out of retirement and signed with the Los Angeles Rams on Aug. 30, the NFL granted the team a two-game roster exemption for the three-time Defensive Player of the Year. While he didn't travel with the team for a Week 1 matchup against the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia, he now will be eligible to make his first appearance since the 2023 season on Monday, Sept. 21, against the Giants.

    Rams' Aaron Donald: Not playing in opener in Australia

    Head coach Sean McVay said that Aaron Donald won't travel to Melbourne, Australia and will be inactive Thursday for the Los Angeles Rams' season opener versus the 49ers, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.After officially re-signing with the franchise on a one-year, $20 million deal Aug. 30, Donald will be given time to regain full conditioning as he makes his return from a two-year retirement. Due to the international scheduling, the Rams will benefit from an extended break before their Week 2 matchup with the Giants in a Monday night game Sept. 21. Donald has strong odds of being available for that contest in what would mark the star defensive tackle's first NFL action since Jan. 14, 2024.

    Rams' Aaron Donald: Vague about status for season opener

    Aaron Donald stated only "we're taking it day by day" when asked Monday if he'll travel to Australia and/or play in the Los Angeles Rams' season opener against San Francisco on Thursday, Vincent Bonsignore of the California Post reports.Previous reports indicated that Donald would at least travel to Australia, but it's uncertain if that's still the case. Donald didn't officially unretire until Aug. 30, so he may not be fully ready to return to NFL action after logging his most recent snap during the 2023 season. Even if he does travel and suit up, Donald may be given a reduced workload as he eases his way back from a lengthy hiatus.

    Rams' Aaron Donald: Will travel to Australia

    Coach Sean McVay said all Los Angeles Rams players, including Aaron Donald, are expected to travel with the team to Australia for next Thursday's Week 1 game against the 49ers, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.According to Ian Rapoport of ESPN and NFL Network, it remains to be seen if Donald will suit up for the regular-season opener, but as Cameron DaSilva of USA Today points out, it would seem like the defensive lineman has a good chance to play if the team is putting him on a 16-hour flight. Donald just officially rejoined the Rams last weekend, but he's been working out at the facility this summer and getting into game shape. He could be part of the defensive-line rotation against San Francisco, as Los Angeles will likely be trying to make a statement against a division rival.

    Rams' Aaron Donald: May not debut until Week 2 or 3

    Aaron Donald is more likely to debut in Week 2 or Week 3 rather than Week 1, according to Dan Graziano of ESPN.com on NFL Live.Donald just rejoined the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, and the team could give him some time to ramp up before tossing him into the mix. Even if Donald does wind up sitting up the opener -- which will be played in nine days against the 49ers in Australia -- that will not have much of an effect on the long-term outlook for the loaded Rams defense.

    Rams' Aaron Donald: Officially rejoins Rams

    Aaron Donald agreed to a one-year, $20 million contract to return to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Since the Rams acquired two-time Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett in early June, Donald has been trending toward a comeback to the NFL, logging multiple tryouts with the Rams. Now that his conditioning has caught up and he's in football shape, Donald is back in the NFL for the first time since the 2023 campaign. Donald is 35 years old, so he likely won't be much more than a rotational defensive lineman to begin the year, but the freak of nature wouldn't surprise anyone by displaying vintage plays from time to time.

    Aaron Donald: Status still unchanged

    Head coach Sean McVay did not have an update on Aaron Donald's status when asked after Thursday's preseason finale, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com.Donald officially worked out for the Rams a couple times in August, so there remains a chance the 35-year-old will join the club before Week 1 and presumably provide a boost up front. However, as training camp comes to a close, Donald remains retired and off the roster.

    Aaron Donald: Officially works out for Rams again

    Aaron Donald had another official tryout with the Rams on Sunday, per the NFL's transaction log.Donald logged his first official workout this offseason with the Rams on Aug. 5, as he's been mulling coming out of retirement. The three-time Defensive Player of the Year appears to be fully healthy since he's now worked out twice this offseason, but whether he officially unretires to play alongside Myles Garrett on the Rams' defensive line remains to be seen. Donald recorded 25 tackles, including 8.0 sacks, while playing 16 regular-season games during his final campaign in 2023.

    Aaron Donald: No pressure for decision on possible return

    Rams coach Sean McVay said Saturday that the team isn't putting "any sort of unnecessary pressure" on Aaron Donald to make a decision this week on whether he wants to unretire, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.McVay did say that the Rams "have some loose things where we've identified... dates that we'd like to be able to hit" regarding Donald's decision, but the coach added that he isn't looking to pressure the veteran defensive lineman "if there's some unforeseen circumstances." McVay also said that if Donald has "put himself in a position to be able to say yes or no, I think he's earned that right to have clarity on that." Donald took part in an official tryout with the Rams on Aug. 5 and seems to be legitimately considering coming out of retirement and playing this season, but at this point his return to NFL action is far from a guarantee.

    Aaron Donald: Draws praise for workout

    Coach Sean McVay said Thursday that Aaron Donald "looked outstanding" during his workout with the Rams on Tuesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN reports.It's still up in the air whether the 35-year-old Donald will come out of retirement for the 2026 season, but the Rams at least appears to be open to the proposition. The three-time Defensive Player of the Year would stand to join a stacked defensive front that added five-time All-Pro Myles Garrett during the offseason.
