Adam Schefter predicts Aaron Donald's potential return to the Rams
Summary

ESPN's Adam Schefter stated he believes it is "more likely than not" that Aaron Donald will un-retire for the 2026 NFL season. This speculation arose after the Los Angeles Rams strengthened their defensive line by trading for Myles Garrett. Donald, who retired after the 2024 season, could be enticed to return, especially with Super Bowl LXI scheduled at SoFi Stadium, where he previously won a championship. However, concerns persist regarding his age and time away from the game, having not played for two years.
