Aaron Donald Returns to Rams to Team With Myles Garrett

The update

Aaron Donald is back. The three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year has ended his two-year retirement to rejoin the Los Angeles Rams for the 2026 season. Donald’s return is directly tied to the Rams acquiring Myles Garrett in a blockbuster trade with the Cleveland Browns. The two will now form one of the most formidable defensive lines in the league.

Why it matters

This move fundamentally changes the Super Bowl landscape for the Rams. By adding Donald, a generational talent, to a defense that already features Garrett, the Rams become the clear favorites to win the Super Bowl. The combination of Donald’s experience and Garrett’s recent dominance forces opposing offenses to make difficult decisions when facing the Rams’ pass rush.

What to watch

Will Donald be able to maintain elite performance levels after a two-year hiatus? How will the Rams’ defense adjust to playing together? Can the duo stay healthy and on the field for a full season?
