Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay provides periodic updates on Aaron Donald’s potential return to the team, as the defensive tackle remains retired and no formal decision is announced. Multiple outlets report McVay is still responding to questions as the season approaches, with the overall message that the Rams are waiting.

McVay says there is “nothing new” and that no decision is imminent, framing Donald’s situation as ongoing contemplation rather than a finalized plan. Several reports add that Donald’s recent work with the team is going well, including mention of a formal workout at the Rams’ facility after training-camp practices wrap. Other coverage emphasizes McVay’s intent not to rush Donald’s choice and notes that the team would welcome him if he decides to end his two-year retirement.

While outlets differ in how much they highlight Donald’s seriousness or the emotional tone of McVay’s comments, they converge on the same point: the Rams have received indications that Donald is progressing in preparation, but the decision on whether he plays this year has not been made.
