Aaron Donald ruled out of Rams’ Australia opener against 49ers
Aaron Donald will not travel to Australia or play in the Los Angeles Rams’ Week 1 game against the San Francisco 49ers, coach Sean McVay has announced.
Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald will miss the team’s Thursday night Week 1 opener against the San Francisco 49ers in Australia, coach Sean McVay announced on Tuesday.
Donald will not travel with the Rams and will be inactive for the game, according to ESPN, which reported the announcement.
The available report does not state why Donald will miss the fixture. It does not attribute his absence to injury, retirement or any other cause.
Donald has been linked in background reports to speculation about a possible return from retirement after reportedly holding a second workout with the Rams in August. That speculation does not establish the reason for his absence from the Australia opener.
The Rams will face the 49ers without Donald as the two teams begin their seasons in Australia.
