Aaron Donald’s three words are gonna echo across the whole NFC: “It’s go time.” After almost two years away from the gridiron, the defensive tackle is officially back on September 21, 2026, and you know that sent shivers down spines everywhere.
Donald Is Back, Garrett Is Out: What It Means for LA
Donald hasn’t suited up for a football game since January 14, 2024, when the Rams took an L against the Lions in the divisional round. Now, he’s set to start and play in a rotation. Talk about a comeback! This is huge for an LA defense that’s gotta contend with a Giants offense that was “methodical, productive, and ultimately successful” in their 28-20 win over the Cowboys last Sunday night. And here’s the kicker: Donald is stepping back without Myles Garrett, who is out for at least three more games after arthroscopic knee surgery. That makes Donald’s presence even more critical for the Rams as they try to avoid an ugly 0-2 start.
Our Hawks Could Be Flying High
While the Rams are sweating to avoid that 0-2 hole, guess who’s looking to keep their perfect record? Our very own Seattle Seahawks, baby! We’re heading to Arizona this week, and a win there means we could move to a sweet 2-0. The 49ers, facing the Dolphins on Sunday, could also hit 2-0. So, while the rest of the league watches Donald’s return, the 12s in the Emerald City are locked in on *our* squad, eyeing that crucial early-season momentum. Let’s get it done in Arizona!
