Rams news: Aaron Donald shares hilarious story about kids

Aaron Donald returned to the Los Angeles Rams Monday night after 32 months away, helping LA beat the New York Giants 28-6 at SoFi Stadium. The defensive tackle later said his kids weren’t fully convinced he was ready for a comeback. He explained that, while his return generated excitement at home, his children challenged whether he could handle the demands of an NFL game after two years retired since ending his career in January 2024. Postgame, Donald told ESPN’s Laura Rutledge that his kids calling him “at least 20 times” made it “everything,” with family support adding to the moment. On the field, he played 32 defensive snaps, recording three tackles and a tackle for loss, as the Rams held the Giants to six points. The win improved LA to 1-1 after a Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
