What happened: Asked whether Donald’s return brought any relief, Kyle Shanahan answered, “The opposite.” Los Angeles activated Donald for the opener after his two-season retirement.
Why it matters: The 35-year-old rejoins the Rams on a one-year, $20 million deal. His return puts one of the NFL’s most decorated defenders back into Los Angeles’ front.
By the numbers: Donald is a three-time Defensive Player of the Year, 10-time Pro Bowl selection and eight-time first-team All-Pro.
What to watch: The Rams open their season Sept. 10 in Melbourne. Donald’s game-day workload is the next detail to watch.
