Aaron Donald Holds Tryout with Rams Amid Comeback Speculation

Aaron Donald, who has been retired since March 2024, recently had a tryout with the Los Angeles Rams, his former team, which has sparked speculation about a possible return to the NFL.

The workout at the Rams' facility was officially labeled a 'tryout,' although it was primarily for Donald to engage in football-like exercises while wearing a helmet. A source indicated that this was a procedural requirement for reporting to the league.

Donald, a former first-round draft pick and three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, enjoyed a successful 10-season career with the Rams, earning multiple Pro Bowl and All-Pro selections. Following the Rams' acquisition of Myles Garrett, Donald has shown interest in returning to the field, sharing workout videos on social media. Rams head coach Sean McVay mentioned that a decision regarding Donald's future would likely come after training camp.
