Los Angeles Rams Confirm Superstar Defender's Season Is Done

The Los Angeles Rams had arguably the worst season of all-time following a Super Bowl victory, as they were eliminated from the playoffs several weeks ago, and with injuries to Cooper Kupp, Matthew Stafford and Aaron Donald, their season has to be considered a massive disappointment.

Donald hasn't played since late November, and while there were whispers that he may play in Week 18, those have been shut down by Head Coach Sean McVay, who has confirmed that No. 99 and arguably the best defensive player in the NFL is done for the year, and will prepare himself and the rest of the team for a massive bounce back year in 2023/24.

It was one of the worst seasons in recent times for Donald, who's won 3 Defensive Player of the Year awards, but with so much left in the tank, it's hard to doubt this team going forward, especially if they can all stay healthy.
