The Rams just pulled off a blockbuster move, trading for Myles Garrett, and then threw fans for a loop when Aaron Donald shockingly un-retired for his 11th season. But here’s the twist: Donald won’t play in the league’s first-ever international opener in Melbourne against the 49ers — not because he’s injured, but because Coach McVay says it’s too soon for him to be game-ready. Critics call it selfish, accusing him of hitching his wagon to the team’s success, but the Rams say it’s a smart, health-first decision. They’re focused on getting Donald back strong for the long haul — even if that means skipping the historic kickoff.
