Aaron Donald is the talk of the town as the Los Angeles Rams get set for training camp. He’s continuing to mull over the possibility of returning to the Rams for this season, working out in the weight room and training on the team’s practice field.
He sure seems like he’s working toward a return, but nothing has been determined yet. NFL Network’s Steve Wyche believes it’s probably going to happen, though.
Wyche said on Friday after the “Rams Revealed Live” event on Thursday night that “every indication” suggests that he’s “probably going to do it.”
“Aaron Donald is putting in the on-field work to really see if this is something he’s about to do. And every indication that I got was that he’s probably going to do it,” Wyche said.

Donald was recently seen working out at the Rams’ facility, which Wyche says wasn’t a “one-off” and that he’s been ramping up his training regimen in advance of a potential comeback.
“I spoke to someone who said, ‘Remember that video a couple weeks ago of Aaron Donald working out at the Rams’ facility doing the on-field work? That was not a one-off. He is putting in the work on the field to see if this is something he really wants to do.’ But he is training as if he’s going to take it up to, ‘OK, I really got this. I can really, really do this,’” Wyche reported.
The timeline for Donald to possibly return is fluid. From the people Wyche has talked to, it seems like if Donald does come back, it will be at some point during training camp to get acclimated to his new teammates.
“Everyone you talk to with the Rams organization says if he does this, Aaron Donald does nothing halfway,” Wyche added. “They would expect him to come back at some point during training camp, not only to get himself physically ready, but to indoctrinate himself into a roster to which he hasn’t been a part of for two years.”
The ball is in Donald’s court now, as the Rams (and every one of their fans) wait with bated breath.
