The hits keep on coming for the Los Angeles Rams as Aaron Donald is the latest player to go down with an injury, suffering a high ankle sprain in the Week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Donald joins a long list of injured Rams players which includes Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp, Allen Robinson, Joe Noteboom, A’Shawn Robinson and Jordan Fuller, among others.
With the Rams currently sitting at 3-8 after five straight losses, there is no reason to rush back Donald or any of the other veterans. With that being said, Donald is expected to miss the Week 13 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks which will be the first game he misses due to injury in his career, via Stu Jackson of TheRams.com:
No surgery for Donald, who will be week-to-week, per McVay. https://t.co/aPi3s78Wsc

The fact that it took Donald nine seasons to miss a game with an injury is truly incredible and a testament to the hard work that he puts in.
It is also good news that Donald does not require surgery on the ankle, which means he will have a chance to play again this season. With the Rams out of the postseason race though, it may make sense to shut him and the other injured veterans down for the rest of the season to avoid risk of re-injury.
Donald is as competitive as they come and probably would not be on board with that though so it will be interesting to see how the Rams handle it if he gets back healthy in the coming weeks.
