Aaron Donald just had another workout with the Los Angeles Rams this past Sunday, the second official session he’s done with the team this month. Everyone’s assuming he’s coming back at some point for the 2026 season, but here’s the kicker: there’s still no clear answer on if the man, the legend, is actually giving up retirement. The clock is ticking, and every little move, every sign from AD, is being watched super closely.
Donald’s Mystery Continues to Build
It’s confirmed, again, that Donald is still actively working on a potential return to the Rams. His involvement with the team has only increased this summer, and the fans are absolutely on edge, watching this whole saga play out. Is he closer to a decision after this second workout? Honestly, we still do not know. But man, it feels like it is still super possible he’s heading back to the field with the Rams. The team is definitely just waiting for the green light, too, so they can lock down their plans for 2026. Think about it, maybe both sides already know what’s up, and it is just us on the outside waiting for the official confirmation.
McVay Isn’t Setting Deadlines, But There’s a Timeline
Rams head coach Sean McVay gave an update after their win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, and it did not exactly clear things up. McVay confirmed that he and Donald are “not at the point where they have clarity” on Donald’s plans. He said Donald is “still considering coming back to the Rams” but emphasized he did not want to set an “invisible deadline” for the future Hall of Famer. McVay spoke to Vinnie Bonsignore of the California Post on Saturday night, saying, “We have a great dialogue. It’s going to be on his timeline. When he feels good about having clarity, whether that is yes or whether that ends up being a no, we have had some tentative decisions behind the scenes.” He added they have some “loose things” like target dates, but he is not trying to put “unnecessary pressure on him.”
So, that is where we are. Donald is working out, McVay is talking, but the final word is all on AD. We’re all just holding our breath, waiting for the future Hall of Famer to make the call that will either set the 2026 season ablaze or keep him in retirement. What a ride!
