"I think he's gonna be a real force to be dealt with." @LarryFitzgerald weighs in on Aaron Donald's return to the Rams Via @ESPNNFL on X

What happened: Larry Fitzgerald discussed Aaron Donald's comeback with Los Angeles via the Rich Eisen Show. Donald rejoined the Rams after a two-year layoff.

Why it matters: Los Angeles adds a decorated interior defender back to its front for the 2026 regular season. Summer training framed the comeback around renewed form rather than a short-term fill-in.

By the numbers: Drafted 13th overall in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft out of Pittsburgh (as of Sept. 29, 2026).

What to watch: Watch for Donald's first game action and workload as Los Angeles moves through the regular season.
