Aaron Donald has never missed a game due to injury in his seven-year career, proving to be one of the most durable players in the league. But on Saturday against the Seahawks, he suffered a rib injury in the third quarter and was in visible pain.
He was evaluated by the training staff and immediately taken to the locker room, as he was seen struggling to catch his breath without wincing in pain. The Rams announced Donald as being questionable to return, though it was announced in the press box that he’s doubtful.
Here’s a look at when the injury occurred, showing Donald slow to get up and holding his chest area.
