What happened: Los Angeles is giving Aaron Donald more time to ramp up after two seasons in retirement. Sean McVay confirmed the decision Tuesday, ending uncertainty over Donald's availability.

Why it matters: The Rams lose their marquee interior defender for the NFL's first regular-season game in Australia. The absence also delays Donald's return to game action until at least Week 2.

What to watch: Donald's status for Week 2 becomes the next checkpoint as Los Angeles continues his ramp-up.
