Aaron Donald worked out with the Los Angeles Rams on Wednesday, and the session appeared on the NFL's transaction wire. Under league rules, any free agent who uses team equipment during training camp must have that activity reported. Donald wore a helmet during the evaluation, prompting the Rams to log the workout.

Donald, 35, has not confirmed a return, but Rams head coach Sean McVay said the retired star flew his longtime speed trainer from Pittsburgh to Los Angeles to stay in shape. ProFootballTalk reports a decision could come within days. Speculation grew after Donald told Pat McAfee in June that the Rams' trade for Myles Garrett made him reconsider retirement.

The buzz around Aaron Donald's possible return is understandable, but fans should temper expectations. A helmet workout and a trainer visit are not a contract. Donald is 35 and has been retired for two and a half seasons; regaining NFL form is a different challenge. The real test will come when he decides to sign, or stays away. If he does not commit before Week 1, the speculation will likely fade.
