Aaron Donald says his return to football is going better than he expected. After sitting out two seasons, the Los Angeles Rams star has been back with the team since last month and reports being pleasantly surprised by how his body responds.

Both outlets note that Donald is currently focused on his on-field work and progress, while not offering a clear timeline or confirmation about whether he will be available for the Rams’ season opener. The reporting emphasizes his positive assessment of his current condition without translating it into a definitive status update.

While the overall message is consistent, the coverage centers on different aspects of the same situation: one outlet highlights Donald’s satisfaction with his return to the field, while the other similarly frames his early re-engagement with football but focuses on the uncertainty surrounding his availability for the first game of the season.
