What happened: Aaron Donald is weighing whether to end his retirement and rejoin Los Angeles. McVay previously said the Rams would make room if Donald returned.
Why it matters: The decision will shape the Rams' defensive-front plans for the 2026 season. A return would bring Donald back after two years away from football.
By the numbers: Donald retired with 111 sacks in 154 games, 10 Pro Bowl selections, eight first-team All-Pro honors and three Defensive Player of the Year awards.
What to watch: Donald’s decision becomes the next checkpoint once the Rams resume work at their facility.
