Aaron Donald decision is currently expected this week

Key Points:
- Aaron Donald is still undecided about returning to football after two years of retirement, with his decision now expected by the end of the week rather than earlier.
- The Los Angeles Rams plan to gradually ramp up Donald’s playtime using a strategy similar to the one from his past contract holdouts, aiming for 30-40 snaps in the Week 1 game in Australia.
- Donald needs to participate in practice and workouts against other players to assess his current physical capabilities and determine if he can perform at his previous elite level.
- Despite the uncertainty, Donald appears inclined to make his play-or-retire decision before officially rejoining the Rams' practice sessions, taking extra time to ensure the right choice.
- While it seems unlikely that Donald will prepare extensively only to sit out, the possibility remains that he may ultimately decide not to return to the field.
