Sean McVay just dropped a bombshell, telling reporters the Los Angeles Rams are “closer” to getting Aaron Donald back in the mix. This isn’t just talk, either; Donald reportedly worked out with the team for the second time this offseason this weekend, and if that doesn’t put the rest of the NFC on notice, nothing will.
Meanwhile, our own Hawks had a tough weekend on the gridiron, falling 17-7 to the Dallas Cowboys in their final score.
Is the G.O.A.T. Really Coming Back?
Let’s be real, the rumor mill has been buzzing all offseason about Aaron Donald potentially returning. This guy is an eight-time first-team All-Pro selection and a three-time Defensive Player of the Year. He retired after the 2023 season, but the whispers said he wanted one more year with the Rams, specifically to team up with newly acquired NFL single-season sack leader, Myles Garrett. Now it seems like those whispers are getting louder. Donald working out with the team for a second time just screams that a comeback is truly in the works, even if he frequently trains at their facilities anyway.
McVay’s Words Speak Volumes
The news about Donald’s workout came right after Rams head coach Sean McVay spoke out following their 20-12 preseason victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. McVay indicated he thinks the franchise is “closer” to securing Donald’s return. He said, “I’m hopeful that it will be sooner than later, but I also want to respect when he does feel like that clarity will come. I think there’s a chance that we’ll be closer to that than not. But again, I don’t want to say too much or put some sort of invisible deadline on something that doesn’t exist in my mind for him.”
If Donald does make it back this season, that defensive line combo with Myles Garrett is going to be straight up terrifying. We are talking about one of the most formidable duos in recent memory, and it would immediately solidify the Rams as favorites in the NFC. Keep your eyes peeled, because a final decision should be coming down one way or another in the near future with that 53-man roster deadline creeping up fast.
