Aaron Donald seen working out at the Rams facility...He was out there doing drills, some with pads on, checking out the conditioning, seeing how his body felt...Aaron Donald's been lifting weights since he's 10 years old...the fact that now he's kind of doing some football-related drills shows you some of the thought process that he might be going through.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Donald's facility workouts with pads signal serious comeback consideration for the Rams.

Aaron Donald seen working out at the Rams facility doing football-related drills with pads on, not just lifting weights; this signals serious consideration of a comeback after retiring in 2023. The Rams would love to have him back if they can work out a contract friendly enough to get Puka Nakua done; he could be rotational given his weight (260-265 lbs for defensive tackle) and might not play 80% of snaps, but would still be a formidable rotational player. Donald doesn't need training camp given his conditioning history and may not announce a firm decision until closer to the season.
