The Los Angeles Rams welcomed back NFL legend Aaron Donald on Sunday, with the defensive tackle ending his two-year hiatus. While that was already exciting news for the franchise, their situation got even better with another return on the opposite side of the ball.
After missing time during the last several weeks due to injury, including the team's joint practices against the Dallas Cowboys and the New Orleans Saints, Puka Nacua returned to practice on Sunday, according to Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times. Defender Myles Garrett continues to do side work, so he's not yet fully back.

Nacua has been dealing with a psoas injury. After avoiding being placed
on the NFL commissioner's exempt list before the NFL's roster cut-down deadline, he appears to be on pace to feature in the team's season opener against the 49ers in Australia.
The Rams were never overly concerned about Nacua's injury but now that he's returned to practice, he's certainly on track to play in Week 1.
