The Los Angeles Rams are one game into the preseason and less than a month away from their regular season opener against the San Francisco 49ers on Sept. 10. Rumors about Aaron Donald's potential return to the NFL have ramped up in recent weeks but the three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year still has not made a decision.
Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters the franchise will not put a deadline on Donald's decision.
"We have some loose things where we've identified you know dates that we'd like to be able to hit," McVay said after the Rams' preseason opener against the Kansas City Chiefs. "But what I don't want to have is any sort of unnecessary pressure on him if there's some unforeseen circumstances."

Rams Have Had Multiple Discussions With Donald
McVay told reporters the Rams have been in discussion with Donald about his potential return this season. He explained that Donald is figuring out if he is able to get back to the level he was at before he retired in 2024.
"We've had some tentative discussions behind the scenes," McVay said. "There's a lot of stuff, without getting too granular with it. ... He knows himself in terms of, 'Am I able to stack back-to-back days? Am I able to do some of the benchmarks that he's set out for himself."
Donald reportedly worked out with the Rams at training camp for the second time this summer on Sunday. He also flew his personal speed trainer to Los Angeles to work with him.
Donald is certainly taking the steps towards a historic comeback but the 10-time Pro Bowler has not made an official decision.
