Aaron Donald is back. The three-time AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year got his first NFL game action in 32 months Monday night when his Los Angeles Rams hosted the New York Giants. Donald was introduced last in the Rams’ pregame starting lineup, setting off roars throughout the SoFi Stadium stands as he sprinted onto the field through a corridor of teammates. He took the field for the Giants’ first offensive play, dropping into his familiar three-point stance as he officially completed his return.
