## Resource

Mina is joined by Aaron Schatz to break down the biggest NFL news of the week, starting with Aaron Donald’s return to the Rams and what it means for an already loaded defense. How can opposing offenses counter L.A., and just how high should expectations be for the Rams this season? Plus, Mina and Aaron dive into the quarterback situations in Las Vegas and Atlanta, including when Fernando Mendoza could get his opportunity and whether the Falcons should start Tua Tagovailoa or Michael Penix Jr. They also discuss how the Packers and Broncos will adjust to the absences of Josh Jacobs and Jonathon Cooper, what the Chargers offense could look like under Mike McDaniel, and which backup quarterbacks have caught their eye.
