Aaron Donald returns to Los Angeles Rams lineup for season opener

Aaron Donald is set to return to the Los Angeles Rams after a two-year hiatus. His return coincides with the team’s season opener, which is scheduled to be played against the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne. The game presents a challenging debut for San Francisco 49ers rookie Carver Willis, who recently secured the starting job at left guard. During the preseason, Willis struggled with pass protection, allowing seven total pressures across 100 snaps and ranking 82nd among 109 rookie offensive linemen tracked by Pro Football Focus. While the team has not officially confirmed Donald will play, his return to the roster creates a significant test for the San Francisco offensive line. If he appears, Donald will look to disrupt the San Francisco game plan during his first game back on the field.
