Aaron Donald returns to practice with Rams ahead of Week 1 opener

Aaron Donald returned to the practice field with the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday for the first time since announcing his return from retirement. Head coach Sean McVay said the team is taking a day-to-day approach with the veteran defensive lineman to determine his readiness for the season opener against the San Francisco 49ers. Donald participated in individual drills during his first session back but did not take part in team activities. The Rams are scheduled to travel to Australia for the Week 1 game, though specific departure plans remain undisclosed. McVay declined to provide a concrete timeline regarding whether Donald will suit up for the season debut. The staff intends to monitor his physical acclimation and progress during practice leading up to the trip.
