Rams Await Aaron Donald's Decision As Preseason Nears

The Los Angeles Rams brought in Aaron Donald for a tryout on Wednesday. It's fair to say he passed with flying colors. What's not certain as of this weekend is whether the three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year will unretire and play for the Rams for the first time since the 2023 season.

Per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, Donald is expected to take a little more time to ponder his decision. He's expected to make his final choice by the end of this week. "And his play-or-don't-play decision is indeed coming soon, Florio wrote.

"But apparently not quite as soon as recently expected. Donald's target, we're told, has shifted from early this week to the end of this week. (Given the ramifications of a decision to return, Donald could take a little more time before making the decision to take the pigskin plunge.) The timeline Florio suggested would put Donald's decision date close to the Rams' first preseason game.
