See the full story · 1 sourcesCoach Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams returned to their practice facility in Woodland Hills for the next step of their preseason preparations.
The team had previously spent the past two weeks at Loyola Marymount University for training camp. The biggest storyline remains the status of Aaron Donald and whether he will return for a potential championship run this season.
McVay had previously stated that there would be an update on Donald’s potential return when the team was back in Woodland Hills.
That wait continues as the Rams did not provide an update on the first day back at the team's headquarters.

According to NFL rules, the Rams were required to report any player workout on the league transaction wire if the player uses team equipment, such as a helmet.
