Aaron Donald completes private tryout with Rams wearing full equipment

Aaron Donald participated in a formal tryout with the Los Angeles Rams on Wednesday, wearing a helmet and pads to assess his personal comfort. The session was arranged for Donald’s own evaluation rather than as a scouting exercise for the team, according to a league source. The Rams have indicated that they would welcome Donald back should he decide to resume his career. The organization is concluding its training camp at Loyola Marymount University this week before moving to its Woodland Hills facility for additional preseason practices. Head coach Sean McVay said Donald’s decision is expected after the team returns to its regular practice site. If the former three-time AP Defensive Player of the Year feels positive about the workout, a return to active play could follow soon.

"Donald’s decision would likely come after the Rams got back to their regular practice spot," McVay said.
