Aaron Donald pleased with how return to field is going, mum on status for Rams’ season opener
Los Angeles Rams defensive end Aaron Donald expressed satisfaction with his physical condition after returning to football with the team last month. The three-time Associated Press Defensive Player of the Year has not played since a loss to the Detroit Lions in January 2024. Donald, who is 35 years old, said he feels "really good" but acknowledged he will take things slowly.
Defensive coordinator Chris Shula emphasized that they are ready for Donald regardless of his availability for the season opener against the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia. The team is prepared to account for all possibilities regarding Donald's participation, focusing on getting him acclimated to the defense and his role as a pass rusher alongside Myles Garrett.
