The Los Angeles Rams are considering a potential return for Aaron Donald, who has not played since his last season two years ago. Experts suggest that if Donald expresses a desire to play, the Rams would be better off waiting until later in the season to bring him back. The team's current roster has sufficient talent to succeed without him early on. Historically, mid-season trades for pass rushers have bolstered the Rams during their Super Bowl runs. If Donald returns, a late-season activation may maximize his impact during the playoffs.
