Throughout his remarkable career, Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald has missed just two games — both in 2017, and one due to a contract dispute. Other than that, he’s played just about every snap possible since his rookie year of 2014, which says a lot about his toughness.
So, when Donald was seen on the sideline wincing and struggling for breath in the third quarter of the Rams’ wild-card game against the Seahawks, that was reason for serious concern. Donald may have suffered a rib injury on a sack of Russell Wilson, and he’s been listed as questionable to return to the game.
