What happened: Aaron Donald will not travel to Australia and will be inactive for Thursday’s opener against San Francisco. The Week 2 game is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET on Monday Night Football.
Why it matters: Los Angeles must open against an NFC West rival without a three-time Defensive Player of the Year. The Rams have taken a day-by-day approach while Donald re-acclimates following his return from retirement.
By the numbers: The Rams have 11 days between their Sept. 10 opener and the Sept. 21 home game.
What to watch: Donald’s Week 2 practice participation will be the next indicator of his availability.
