The reported reason for Aaron Donald's workout at the Rams facility last week won't do anything to quiet speculation that he will come out of retirement to play for the team again in 2026.
Donald was spotted doing a variety of drills and conditioning work while wearing pads last week and Adam Schefter of ESPN shared how the workout came to happen during a Monday appearance on The Pat McAfee Show.
"He told the team that he wanted to go there, work out, see how he felt, see how he reacted. See everything that went along with being back in pads on the football field and seeing how it made him feel," Schefter said.
Donald told McAfee last month that the Rams' trade for Myles Garrett "got me thinking," but would have to see if "that fire can light back up." It's unclear how Donald felt the workout went, but testing the waters would seem to suggest that he's giving serious consideration to striking the match on a comeback.
