Aaron Donald returns from retirement to play for Los Angeles Rams

The Los Angeles Rams announced Sunday that Aaron Donald is coming out of retirement to join the roster for the upcoming season. The decision arrives just before the 53-man roster deadline and weeks ahead of the team's season opener against the 49ers in Australia. Donald is expected to command a starting role upon his return, which will likely reduce the playing time of Braden Fiske. Poona Ford remains the starting nose tackle and is not expected to lose snaps, while Kobie Turner will continue to play alongside Donald in the interior. Fiske, who dealt with injuries during his rookie campaign, is projected to see a smaller role in the rotation this year despite remaining a core member of the defense. Because Donald is signed for one additional season, Fiske is slated to resume a starting position in the future.
