Aaron Donald will miss some time due to his back injury, and fans think that they know exactly when the injury occurred.
The Los Angeles Rams defensive star Donald has been ruled out for Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Rams head coach Sean McVay announced on Friday that Donald will be sidelined due to a back injury that had kept him out of practice all week.
In response, social media users pinpointed what was seemingly the exact moment when Donald got injured. During the Rams’ Week 3 loss to the Denver Broncos, Denver guard Quinn Meinerz managed to lift Donald off his feet and drive him into the turf back-first.
Here is the video.

Donald, who is now 35 years old, came out of retirement for the Rams this year after sitting out of the last two NFL seasons. He has yet to make much of an impact though, logging just four combined tackles, one QB hit, and zero sacks over his first two games.
Meanwhile, the Rams are off to a 1-2 start and will now face a difficult test on Sunday against the Eagles without the services of Donald. That only adds to the team’s injury woes in the early going, especially with fellow Rams defensive star Myles Garrett still set to miss more time as well.
