Concerns arise over Los Angeles Rams' 2026 season outlook

Summary

As the Los Angeles Rams prepare for the 2026 season, doubts linger about their potential success despite a strong previous year. The team's performance, which included 12 wins, hinges on quarterback Matthew Stafford, now 38, who may decline in performance due to age. Additionally, the return of defensive star Aaron Donald poses risks. Donald, currently 35 and away from the game for almost three years, may struggle to regain his previous form if he returns, which could impact team dynamics. Concerns around Stafford's age and Donald's potential adjustment create uncertainty for the upcoming season.
