Rams standout DT Aaron Donald told reporters that the plan for him is to play Monday night vs. the New York Giants. http

What happened: Donald told reporters Friday the plan is to play Monday against New York after returning to 11-on-11 practice. Sean McVay said he is hopeful Donald plays but will follow how Donald responds to full-team work.

Why it matters: Los Angeles acquired Myles Garrett earlier this month, so Donald's return would put him alongside Garrett on the same front. New York arrives with momentum after a 28-20 win over Dallas that showed progress on both sides of the ball.

What to watch: Watch weekend practice participation and Monday's active list for final confirmation.
