Aaron Donald thinks he’ll play for Rams vs Bills after a short injury setback in his comeback

Aaron Donald, the star defensive tackle, is feeling much better after a week of rest and treatment, according to an AP report. He plans to play for the Rams against the Buffalo Bills on Monday night, despite missing the team's previous game due to an injury setback. Donald's absence during the Rams' victory in Philadelphia highlighted the challenge of his comeback after a two-and-a-half-year retirement.

Donald's first practice with the Rams following his injury recovery went smoothly, and he expressed satisfaction with his progress. "I feel a lot better than what I was, so that's good," Donald said. The 35-year-old star emphasized that he has followed the Rams' training staff's regimen to get back to full strength. The 10-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle also noted that his absence from the last two practices was intentional, as the Rams deemed it necessary to avoid pushing him too early in the season.

Despite Donald's impressive performances in the first two games of his comeback, with four tackles and a quarterback hit, the Rams are still without Josh Allen's trade acquisition, Myles Garrett. Garrett's knee surgery has delayed his return, and the Rams' coach, Sean McVay, remains uncertain about Garrett's availability for the upcoming match.

Donald, however, remains confident in the team's defense, even without Garrett. He praised Allen's skills, comparing him to a futuristic Big Ben, and emphasized that Allen is a challenging player to tackle and a playmaker.
