What happened: Donald is returning after two seasons away on a one-year, $20 million contract. The role follows his August workout with the Rams.
Why it matters: A reduced initial workload would let Los Angeles manage Donald's transition back after his last NFL season in 2023. How quickly that role expands will shape the defensive rotation during the upcoming season.
By the numbers: Donald recorded 111 sacks over his first 10 Rams seasons and won three AP Defensive Player of the Year awards.
What to watch: Watch Donald's early snap counts and whether his workload grows beyond a rotational role.
