## Resource

Aaron Donald, the three-time Defensive Player of the Year, is making a surprising comeback after two years off, moving well and feeling no drop-off since rejoining the Rams. Though his role remains uncertain for Friday’s season opener in Melbourne against the 49ers, he’s taking it day by day — even scheduling rest days like he did in his prime. At 35, he won’t be an every-down player, but his presence alone electrifies the team. Defensive coordinator Chris Shula says they’re ready for any scenario, with depth to manage his workload. Donald admits some rust early on, but he’s settling in quickly and proud of his progress. His return was jump-started by the acquisition of Myles Garrett — a move that reignited his passion and promises to elevate the Rams’ defense as they gear up for their international debut.
