What happened: The Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle completed practice Thursday and Friday without setbacks. He noted the Buffalo quarterback possesses the size to absorb punishment and the mobility to extend plays when the pocket collapses, comparing him to a futuristic Ben Roethlisberger. The veteran will rejoin a defensive front that successfully pressured Philadelphia using Kobie Turner and Braden Fiske.

Why it matters: The interior disruptor's return presents a significant challenge for Buffalo. Los Angeles managed to frustrate the Eagles without Donald or injured pass rusher Myles Garrett, but adding a three-time Defensive Player of the Year back into the rotation alters the offensive game plan.

What to watch: Los Angeles will monitor the defensive tackle through the weekend to ensure no late flare-ups alter his availability. Kickoff against the Bills is set for Monday night at SoFi Stadium.
