Rams get 2-game roster exemption for Aaron Donald: What it means
Rams Wire • • general
Key Points:
- The Los Angeles Rams added Aaron Donald to their 53-man roster just before final cuts, marking his return after two years of retirement.
- The NFL granted the Rams a special two-game roster exemption for Donald, allowing him to be on the active roster without occupying a spot for the first game against the San Francisco 49ers.
- This exemption expires on September 11, one day after the season opener, requiring the Rams to make a roster move to officially include Donald afterward.
- Despite being on the roster, Donald's participation in the opener is uncertain as the team is gradually increasing his practice workload.
- The exemption effectively covers two weeks, including the Rams' bye week before their first game, giving Donald time to acclimate without impacting the roster limit immediately.
