\u201cDonald plays on the interior and Garrett is an edge-rusher \u2013 so in theory they should perfectly complement each other\u2019s styles.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, McVay is remaining tight-lipped as to whether Donald will feature at the MCG.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am not going to talk about any plans. It\u2019s going to be a day at a time,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe first steps when you are coming back is \u2018let\u2019s get onto the practice field and let\u2019s see what the ramp-up period looks like\u2019. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhether or not he\u2019s available or whether we think it\u2019s best to play him in Australia, the best way to do it is one day at a time. <\/p>\n
\u201cBut we are obviously excited to have him back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Donald\u2019s return comes with the Rams targeting a repeat of their 2022 Super Bowl win which came at their home SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. <\/p>\n
The 2026-2027 Super Bowl will also take place at SoFi Stadium. Donald is one of only three players to win the NFL\u2019s Defensive Player of the Year award on three occasions, along with Lawrence Taylor and J.J. Watt. <\/p>\n
He was selected to the Pro Bowl in all ten years he played in the league, a record matched only by former Detroit Lions running back Barry Sanders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Look who\u2019s back.
