Rams' Garrett excited by possibility of Donald returning to play

Myles Garrett is speaking out regarding the potential return of NFL legend Aaron Donald to the Los Angeles Rams. Since joining the Rams, Garrett has been vocal about his respect for Donald and the impact they could have if they lined up on the same defensive line. The buzz started when Rams coach Sean McVay mentioned that Donald is undergoing a strict, regimented process to determine if he wants to play this season after retiring in March 2024.

Garrett expressed a desire to avoid putting pressure on the future Hall of Famer. He acknowledges that returning after two seasons away from the game is a significant challenge, particularly concerning the physical tempo and conditioning required for NFL action. Garrett noted that he respects Donald's current life priorities, including his family, and understands that the final decision rests solely with the former defensive tackle.

Despite the hurdles of a comeback, Garrett is optimistic about the partnership. He believes they could learn from one another, specifically regarding their different approaches to attacking matchups on the field. Coaches and teammates alike are waiting to see if Donald decides to make his return, but for now, the focus remains on the current training camp roster.

If Donald does choose to lace up his cleats again, the pairing with Garrett would provide an immediate boost to the Rams' pass rush. For the time being, the team continues its preparation for the upcoming season, with Garrett leading the charge on defense and leaving the door open for his potential partner.
