Aaron Donald, the renowned defensive tackle, underwent a formal workout for the Los Angeles Rams on Wednesday, potentially marking the final step in his decision to return to the NFL after a 2 1/2-year retirement. The 35-year-old participated in a workout hosted by the Rams at their Woodland Hills facility, as reported by the league's official transactions wire.
Defensive line coach Giff Smith attended the workout, signaling optimism about Donald's performance. "I heard it was good," Smith said, adding that the Rams are eager to welcome back one of the greatest players in NFL history. Donald has been diligently working out at the Rams' facility and at home for several weeks, aiming to regain his NFL shape.
Rams coach Sean McVay expressed cautious optimism about the possibility of pairing Donald with fellow star defensive player Myles Garrett this season. Garrett, who returned to practice after sitting out due to lower-body soreness, hasn't discussed the comeback with Donald yet but is hopeful about their potential matchup. "Hopefully we’ll link up here soon and I’ll see where his head is at," Garrett said, emphasizing that he won't pressure Donald in any way, allowing him to go through the process at his own pace.
