Rams head coach Sean McVay says he still does not know if Aaron Donald will return to the team. Donald, 35, retired after the 2023 season but has been training with the Rams this offseason. He has given signs that he wants to play again, but he has not made a final decision. McVay told reporters he cannot answer questions about contracts or how quickly Donald could join the roster. The Rams open their regular season against the 49ers in Australia on September 10, less than two weeks away. The team cannot complete its roster plans until Donald decides. Donald is considered one of the best defensive players in NFL history, so his return would greatly strengthen the Rams' defence.
