The Los Angeles Rams closed out the 2026 preseason with a win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday and can now look ahead to the regular season. Problem is, they still don't know whether their eight-time All-Pro is coming out of retirement.
The Aaron Donald situation remains "up in the air" with less than two weeks until the Rams take on the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1, Sean McVay said Thursday, per Pro Football Talk.
"I think all of those things are up in the air," McVay said. "I wish I had a little bit better ability to give you some clarity, but it's really one of those deals that, what we're doing we're focusing on this football team. Aaron knows that if he wants to be able to do that, that's something that we absolutely want to be able to entertain and figure out, and that's really all there is to it right now."
Donald, now 35, hasn't played since the 2023 season, but has flirted with coming out of retirement in 2026. Donald went so far as to attend a "tryout" with the Rams. That, apparently, went very well, with McVay saying the former All-Pro "looked outstanding."
Since then, there have been no new updates on Donald's status. With time running out, Donald will need to make a decision soon on whether he'll put his pads on one more time in pursuit of another championship.
