Aaron Donald returns to the Los Angeles Rams roster for 2026
Summary

The Los Angeles Rams added defensive tackle Aaron Donald to the roster for the 2026 season. Donald, a 10-time Pro Bowl selection, returns to the gridiron after stepping away from the sport following the 2023 campaign. His return follows a busy offseason for the Rams, who previously acquired defensive players Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns and Trent McDuffie from the Kansas City Chiefs. Jaylon Watson also joined the secondary as part of the team's defensive rebuilding efforts. The moves follow a 2025 postseason that ended in a loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Sean McVay will look to integrate these veteran additions as the franchise aims for another Super Bowl run.
