The Los Angeles Rams are anticipating the return of defensive lineman Aaron Donald for their Week 2 game against the New York Giants. Donald, who retired after the 2024 season, announced his comeback in August and is expected to play after practicing throughout the week.
Donald missed the Rams' season opener in Melbourne, Australia, against the San Francisco 49ers. "That is the plan," Donald stated after practice on Friday. "Two practices today, have another practice tomorrow, and then we'll see. But feeling good."
However, the team is facing a potential setback with wide receiver Puka Nacua, who was absent from practice due to a hip injury. The extent of Nacua's injury and its impact on his availability against the Giants remain uncertain.
