When Aaron Donald retired from the Los Angeles Rams in 2024, his next stop seemed destined to be an induction ceremony into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

But now, that journey might include one more stop — back with the Rams.

Donald has been flirting with the idea of returning to his old team because, well, they're stacked this season, about to embark on a chase for a Super Bowl championship and he apparently likes the idea of being part of the journey.

What was a secret until Wednesday was how close Donald is to making a decision on his return after he requested and received a formal workout from the team to see how he feels.

The workout was so formal the Rams reported it to the NFL, and it appeared on the league's daily transaction wire.
Uncertainty qualifiers 2
Qualifiers such as may, might, or reportedly are disclosed as technique but do not add framing-risk points by themselves.
