Rams news: Aaron Donald shares hilarious story about kids

The Los Angeles Rams secured a major morale boost as star defensive tackle Aaron Donald returned to NFL action for the first time in 32 months. This came during the Rams' resounding 28-6 victory over the New York Giants at SoFi Stadium. However, Donald's children initially expressed doubts about their father's readiness for the comeback.

Upon entering the stadium, the family ensured their dad didn't get overly excited by questioning his ability to handle the rigors of an NFL game after his two-year absence. Following the game, Donald spoke about the significance of his children's support, revealing that his kids had called him at least 20 times to express their eagerness to see him play football.

This familial encouragement added to the emotional impact of his return. Donald, 35, played 32 defensive snaps in the win, contributing three tackles and a tackle for loss. He also played a key role in controlling the defensive line, contributing to the Rams' strong performance in stifling the Giants' offense. This return for Donald came after he retired from the NFL in January 2024 before later announcing his comeback.

The Rams' performance following Donald's return was one of their best defensive displays of the season, leading to an improved record of 1-1 for the team.
