After two seasons out of football, Aaron Donald has been pleasantly surprised by how his body has reacted since rejoining the Los Angeles Rams last month.
Whether it means the three-time ****** ociated Press Defensive Player of the Year will be ready to play in the Rams' season opener against the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia, on Friday morning local time is still unclear.
"We going day by day," Donald said. "(We'll) Come up with a game plan and see what's going on. But feeling good. Feeling really good."
Donald did not practice Monday, which he described as a scheduled day off. Such breaks were frequently built into his game week to reduce wear and tear in later years during the 10 seasons of his first stint with the Rams. They are likely to again be a regular feature now that Donald is 35 years old and hasn't played in an NFL game since a NFC wild-card round loss to the Detroit Lions in January 2024.
For Donald, everything is about putting himself in position to be as effective as possible in meaningful action. He is still holding himself to the same standard that led to 111 sacks in 154 regular-season games and eight first-team All-Pro honors.
