"I think we can do great things." 👀 Myles Garrett on the possibility of teaming up with Aaron Donald. https://t.co/JRL8 Via @SportsCenter on X

What happened: Myles Garrett said he and Aaron Donald could "do great things" together. Sean McVay said last week that Donald remains undecided about returning for the 2026 season.

Why it matters: Donald has been retired since March 2024, making his return the prerequisite for any partnership. He has won three Defensive Player of the Year awards, while Garrett enters 2026 as the reigning winner.

By the numbers: Garrett set the NFL single-season record with 23 sacks in 2025. Donald owns three Defensive Player of the Year awards.

What to watch: Donald’s decision is the next material step as training camp unfolds.
