Aaron Donald may delay return to Rams until mid-season
Summary

Aaron Donald is considering delaying his return to the Los Angeles Rams until partway through the 2026 NFL season. Reports suggest that Donald might not rejoin the team during training camp and could instead be a potential trade deadline addition. If the Rams are performing well, Donald could be more inclined to come out of retirement to assist in a Super Bowl push. He previously retired, and the Rams would welcome his return.
