Aaron Donald works out with Rams, awaiting decision on return to NFL
Fantasy-wise, this is almost entirely IDP/dynasty relevant rather than standard-format redraft impact, since Donald is a defensive tackle. If you're in a league that rosters defensive linemen individually, this is worth a note on your draft prep sheet: a returning Donald, even at limited snaps after a year away, would immediately be one of the most disruptive interior linemen in the league when engaged, historically a high-floor sack/pressure producer. But until there's real confirmation, don't reach for him or adjust rankings — a second workout is a positive signal of mutual interest, not a signing.
Action for now: no add, no drop, no trade move. Flag Donald as a name to monitor closely as we get closer to the season; if a deal is announced, revisit immediately since IDP leagues would see him jump into premium-tier consideration on talent alone, assuming health and workload are normalized. Confidence here is low — this remains an unresolved developing situation, and you should wait for a firmer report (signing, contract terms, practice-squad or 53-man confirmation) before committing any draft capital or roster space to him.
