The last time the Rams won the Super Bowl, it was at SoFi Stadium, with Aaron Donald making the game-clinching defensive Via @AdamSchefter on X

What happened: Donald had been retired since March 2024 after 10 NFL seasons. His comeback follows multiple August workouts at the team facility.

Why it matters: Super Bowl LXI returns to SoFi Stadium on Feb. 14, 2027. Donald made the game-clinching pressure there when Los Angeles won Super Bowl LVI.

By the numbers: Donald retired with 111 sacks, three AP Defensive Player of the Year awards and 10 Pro Bowl selections.

What to watch: His roster activation and preparation for the 2026 opener are the next markers to watch.
