What happened: Sean McVay expects every Los Angeles player, including Aaron Donald, to travel for Thursday’s opener against San Francisco. Ian Rapoport said Donald’s playing status remains TBD.
Why it matters: The Rams can carry Donald for two weeks without using a spot against the 53-man limit. That flexibility gives Los Angeles time to assess him following his return from retirement.
By the numbers: Donald has not played in two and a half years. His one-year deal is worth $20 million, with playoff incentives that could raise it to $30 million.
What to watch: The Rams must decide whether Donald will dress against San Francisco and what workload he can handle.
