Although a sizable chunk of Aaron Donald’s fourth Rams contract is comprised of per-game roster bonuses, the all-time great defensive lineman does not have to play in games to earn them. Donald merely needs to be on the Rams’ 53-man…
Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald is progressing toward a return in Week 5 after missing Week 4 with a back injury. Head coach Sean McVay confirmed Donald is being ramped up to play, and he participated in a limited capacity during Thursday's practice. Donald is not expected to be placed on injured reserve, while cornerback Jaylen Watson is on a similar timeline to return from a shoulder issue.
Donald came out of retirement this season on a one-year, $20 million contract and has logged a 54% snap rate across his appearances. Meanwhile, wide receiver Puka Nacua returned in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles, recording nine catches for 125 yards and a rushing touchdown despite dealing with a reported pre-hernia condition.
