Aaron Donald Expected to Play in Rams Home Opener vs. Giants

Aaron Donald will make his first NFL appearance since 2023 as the Rams try to rebound after a Week 1 loss, analysts said.

  • Future Hall of Famer Aaron Donald announced he plans to play in the Los Angeles Rams' Week 2 game against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. "That's the plan," Donald said when asked about his status via NFL Network.
  • After losing their season opener to San Francisco in Melbourne, Australia, the Rams seek to rebound with Donald making his first game appearance since unretiring this offseason. His debut at SoFi Stadium carries significant weight for the defending Super Bowl LXI favorites.
  • Los Angeles placed reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett on injured reserve Thursday for knee surgery, ruling him out for at least four games. The Giants avoid facing one of the league's elite pass rushers in this matchup.
  • Despite their Week 1 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, the Giants face a difficult challenge in Los Angeles. Reporter Connor Hughes believes New York must score at least 30 points on offense to secure a victory against the Rams.
  • The Rams entered 2026 as Super Bowl LXI favorites, intensifying expectations for Monday Night Football. With Donald back in the lineup, Los Angeles seeks to validate its championship potential against the visiting New York squad.
