Aaron Donald is back in action. Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay confirmed that the superstar defensive lineman will return for the team's Week 2 matchup against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football.

McVay expressed his confidence, stating, "If he said it, he's going. Whatever Aaron says, I support." This comes after Donald indicated his intention to play against the Giants, as reported by the L.A. Times.

After a legendary career that included:

• Making the Pro Bowl every season
• Being named a First Team All-Pro eight times in ten years
• Winning the Defensive Player of the Year award three times Donald had initially retired following the 2023 season. However, he un-retired and re-signed with the Rams during training camp, agreeing to a one-year, $20 million deal with incentives that could elevate his earnings to $30 million.

His comeback was hinted at after the Rams traded for Myles Garrett earlier in the offseason. While Donald sat out the Rams' Week 1 game against the San Francisco 49ers in Australia, Garrett struggled on the field due to knee surgery, landing on injured reserve with a designation to return.

The Rams are eager for Donald's return, especially after the 49ers showcased exceptional efficiency in both running and passing. However, it remains uncertain how Donald will fit into the defensive lineup early in the season after two years away from the game.
