Key Points:
- Aaron Donald will not play in the Rams' season opener against the 49ers and will not travel with the team to Australia, according to head coach Sean McVay.
- Donald, who came out of retirement at the end of the summer, is using the extra time to ramp back up after three years away from the game.
- McVay initially expected all players to travel but decided it was more beneficial for Donald to stay and prepare rather than be a spectator.
- The Rams have an 11-day gap between the season opener and their Week 2 game against the Giants, providing Donald a chance to return to action at home.
