Aaron Donald returns from retirement to join the Los Angeles Rams roster

Summary

The Los Angeles Rams signed former All-Pro pass rusher Aaron Donald during the league's roster cutdown period on Sunday. Donald returns to the NFL after spending two years in retirement. His arrival pairs him with Myles Garrett to form a defensive duo for the Rams. Von Miller, now with the Dallas Cowboys, acknowledged the move on social media by jokingly suggesting a return for DeMarcus Ware to assist his own team. The Rams previously acquired Garrett via trade, hoping the defensive end can secure a championship at this stage of his career. Donald, an eight-time All-Pro, now enters the active roster as the organization prepares for the upcoming season.
