Aaron Donald returns to the Rams roster after 2023 retirement
Summary

Aaron Donald announced his return to the Los Angeles Rams after retiring following the 2023 season. The 35-year-old defensive tackle spent 12 to 13 weeks training to prepare for a return to the NFL. His addition creates a defensive line featuring both Donald and Myles Garrett, who was acquired by the team on June 1. The Rams now hold five of the last nine Defensive Player of the Year award winners on their front line. This move impacts the upcoming schedule for the Buffalo Bills, who are slated to face the Rams in a Monday Night Football game on October 12. During his previous season, Donald recorded 53 tackles and eight sacks while maintaining a 14.5% pressure rate on pass-rush snaps.
