Aaron Donald returned to NFL action after two years away following his retirement in March 2024, helping the Los Angeles Rams secure a 28-6 victory over the New York Giants. In his debut game, Donald played for 32 total snaps and recorded seven double teams faced, three tackles, one tackle for loss, and one quarterback pressure. His most impactful play came late in the first half when he made a two-yard loss on third down, preventing the Giants from converting to the red zone and forcing them into settling for a field goal instead.

Story summary
Puka Nacua, a star wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams, will miss their Monday Night Football game against the New York Giants due to an unexplained hip injury. This development came as a surprise after Nacua had been fully participating in practices on Thursday, but did not practice on Friday and was listed as questionable. Despite testing his injury during pregame warmups at SoFi Stadium, he could not get comfortable enough to play. The Rams' offense struggled in their season opener against the San Francisco 49ers with only seven points scored, and Nacua’s absence puts even more pressure on quarterback Matthew Stafford and other receivers like Davante Adams. Additionally, backup receiver Jordan Whittington is also doubtful due to a quad injury, further depleting the team's depth at wide receiver.
