Aaron Donald to Miss Week 1 Return Due to Quick Turnaround

Los Angeles Rams star Aaron Donald will not make his highly anticipated return in Week 1, as he is not traveling with the team for their game in Australia. Head coach Sean McVay explained the decision by stating that the timing would have been a "really quick turnaround" for the veteran defender. While fans were eager to see Donald back on the field, the Rams are opting for a cautious approach to his reintegration, delaying his 2026 season debut for at least another week.
