Rams star Aaron Donald to miss first ever game due to injury
Los Angeles Rams star defensive tackle Aaron Donald has missed a total of two games throughout his Hall of Fame-worthy nine-year NFL career. Both came back in 2017 and were not a result of an injury. He missed the opener due to a hold out and sat out the finale with the Rams already locked in playoff positioning.
With the last-place Rams set to take on the Seattle Seahawks this coming Sunday, Donald will miss his first career NFL game due to injury.
The Rams announced on Wednesday that Donald will be sidelined to a high-ankle sprain. In fact, he could end up missing the rest of what has been a lost season for the defending Super Bowl champions.
It’s simply stunning that someone of Donald’s ilk playing the defensive tackle position has yet to miss a game due to injury in his career. We’re talking 138 career games with 134 starts. Outside of his absolutely brilliant all-around play, Donald’s ability to be available when needed is one of the reasons he’ll go down as an all-time great defender once the Pittsburgh product ultimately calls it a career.
