- Aaron Donald worked out for the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday at their Woodland Hills facility, his second such session this training camp, per the NFL's transaction report listed Sunday.
- Sean McVay declined to put a deadline on Donald's decision after the Rams' preseason opener at Kansas City, saying it will come on "his timeline" and that Donald "has earned the right to have clarity."
- Donald appeared on the transaction report in early August after his first workout, which was held at Loyola Marymount University with defensive line coach Giff Smith, senior VP of sports medicine Reggie Scott, and strength director Justin Lovett.
- After that first session, McVay said the former All-Pro defensive tackle "looked outstanding."
- Donald retired in March 2024 after spending his entire 10-year NFL career with the Rams.
- Donald began weighing a comeback after Los Angeles traded for reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett in early June.
Why it matters: A second documented workout signals Donald's deliberation is substantive rather than ceremonial, with the 31-year-old repeatedly clearing NFL paperwork. For the Rams, who already traded for reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett in June, a Donald return would add a 10-year franchise icon back to a defense now built around two premier pass rushers.
