LOS ANGELES -- Rams defensive end Myles Garrett said that he doesn't want to push defensive tackle Aaron Donald to come out of retirement but that if it does happen, "I think we can do great things."
Donald, who retired in March 2024 after 10 NFL seasons, is going through a "very strict, regimented process" to decide whether he wants to play this season, Rams coach Sean McVay said last week.
The Rams' trade for Garrett in June spurred talk about the possibility of Donald returning to play alongside the reigning Defensive Player of the Year. McVay said he and Donald first had a conversation about the possibility because he had reached out for Donald's opinion when the team was discussing the Garrett trade.
"I don't want to push him in one way or another," Garrett said Wednesday. "If he's here, I'm going to be excited to be his teammate, his partner in crime. And I think we can do great things, but it's a difficult thing coming back, and I know he has a family. He has a lot of decisions to make."
