He's not playing in the team's first game, which is a historic matchup against the 49ers all the way in Australia. Some folks are already calling him out for it, questioning why he'd skipped such a big international opener. One radio host, Rob Parker, is really going in on Donald. He's suggesting that maybe Donald is just trying to avoid the long trip to Australia, especially since he only recently came back to the game and missed all of training camp. Parker even brought up LeBron James and how players today have more power to make these kinds of decisions about rest. The Rams, though, are saying it's all about caution. Donald just ended his retirement a little over two weeks ago and wasn't clear for full contact until just a few days before the season starts. Head coach Sean McVague explained that making a 35-year-old tackle fly across the world and then play limited snaps could be a recipe for. Injury.

It seems like they're prioritizing getting him healthy and ready for the long haul rather than rushing him for this international game. You're rockin' with Los Angeles Rams news today.
