Rams place Aaron Donald on reserve

Aaron Donald, the legendary defensive lineman for the Los Angeles Rams, has officially been placed on the reserve/retired list, finalizing his retirement announced in March. Throughout his decade-long career, Donald earned numerous accolades, including three Defensive Player of the Year awards and was selected for the Pro Bowl in every season he played. Despite a successful final season where he recorded eight sacks and helped the Rams reach the playoffs, Donald cited burnout and a lack of passion for continuing in the sport as reasons for his departure. His contract restructuring before retirement ensures the Rams retain his rights should he choose to return. Donald's legacy as one of the greatest defensive players in NFL history is cemented, with many anticipating his first-ballot induction into the Hall of Fame. The Rams now face the challenge of moving forward without their cornerstone player since 2014.
