The noise surrounding a potential Aaron Donald comeback is getting harder and harder to ignore.
Donald was reportedly spotted at the Los Angeles Rams’ training facility on Friday, seemingly getting a workout done. TMZ Sports’ video footage of Donald showed the future Hall of Famer rolling up medicine balls in an open field within the facility alongside a few other people.

According to TMZ Sports executive producer Michael J. Babcock, Donald “went through several drills” in an hour-long workout. For what it’s worth, Donald reportedly “looked gassed walking off the field.”
Speculation on a Donald comeback began the moment the Rams traded for All-Pro defensive end Myles Garrett. Donald himself has not denied the fact that he’s “been flirting with the idea” of a Rams return for a shot at another Super Bowl ring.
Last month, ESPN’s Adam Schefter made a bold prediction about the chances of a Donald comeback. Based on Schefter’s comments, the latest Donald sighting aligns perfectly with the timeline he projected for Donald’s road back to the NFL.
Donald turned 35 in May and has not played in an NFL game since the 2023 season. But the 8-time All-Pro has stayed in elite shape, making such a comeback more than just a pipe dream.
