Aaron Donald, retired since 2023, says he will play for Los Angeles Rams against New York Giants on Monday night

Aaron Donald, the three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, said on Friday that he expects to play for the Los Angeles Rams against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. Donald retired after the 2023 season but has been practicing this week and feels ready. He did not travel to Australia for the Rams' Week 1 loss. Coach Sean McVay is hopeful and said Donald is not on the injury report. Donald's return is highly anticipated, especially since the Rams traded for Myles Garrett, but Garrett is on injured reserve after knee surgery.
