Aaron Donald made an appearance on the NFL wire today, having visited the Rams for a workout during Wednesday’s practice session. The superstar defensive tackle last played in the NFL in 2023, but has been mulling a return to Los Angeles for the 2026 season.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, part of the reason Donald was listed on the wire Wednesday was because he wanted to practice in a helmet as he continues to self-evaluate ahead of his potential return to the NFL. It’s a league requirement that a player who uses team equipment at the facility during training camp will have their activity reported to the NFL, thus Donald found himself featured on the wire. Schefter noted that while Donald donned a helmet during the workout on Wednesday, he did not wear pads.
