Did I miss where the NFL suspended him?

No. But did I miss where AD99 joined the Rams?
I should clarify that, in terms of prospective impact to our upcoming season, I believe that AD99 rejoining the Rams will indeed be huuge, but should A-Jax get suspended, that will have an even bigger impact. Stafford had an MVP season, largely because we had virtually the same OLine the whole time. We were a couple of fluke plays from winning another SB. WITHOUT AD99, or even Garrett. Yes defense wins championships, and a little better D last season would've gotten us over the hump. But imho an oft injured / suspended OLine this upcoming season will hang an albatross on the whole team, and it would be very sad to see this happen should AD99 rejoin the team to play with MG. He may even be waiting to see what happens to A-Jax before he decides for sure. At least that's what I'd be considering if I were him.
 
AD will be playing in the opener.

This looks more and more like the Rams' master plan all along. McVay has been in touch with AD since his retirement. He knew getting Garrett was the carrot to get AD out of retirement, along with other defensive improvements.

If AD comes back for training camp, it will most likely be mostly so he can be around the fellas and not to do the grind. He'll no doubt work out with them and show them his routine but I kinda doubt he will be hitting the sleds and doing the full TC.

Shefty believes it!! He brings up some valid points.

dropping vid for anyone interested. link set for start of AD talk.
Baring an injury before it's officially announced, .
This is happening! The entire scenario is too perfect to pass up.
From Garrett, to the D as a whole. Offense. possible home field SB.

Former, "really-good" player, Gerald McCoy claims Aaron Donald is NOT coming back, and claims to have good insight why.

Former NFL All-Pro Has New 'Insight' on Rams' Aaron Donald Return

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers All-Pro Gerald McCoy has shut down the idea of Los Angeles Rams defensive end Aaron Donald returning.
roundtable.io roundtable.io

Edit: This better be the last stand on Donald ever returning talk. If he doesn't return THIS year, with a still young Stafford, with Garrett joining, with Super Bowl at SoFi, I dont WANT him back in any future seasons.

With you, there doesn't seem to be much middle ground.

There IS middle ground when there IS middle ground...if ya know what I mean....

This is now or never for AD, because of the reasons above I mentioned. Not because, like Billy Joel, I Go To Extremes.
 
Gerald McCoy said he doesn't have inside info; it's only his opinion and speculation. So there's still hope. And still, AD hasn't thrown cold water on him coming back.

Oh, this is completely true. McCoy's take is not a declaration of anything, nor was it posted as one. Just one man's opinion.

As Ive stated, ive had it with the Donald spec. Now or never.

I WANT him back.

I wasn't speaking about Donald and whether he may play in 2026. I was talking about you.

AS AN EXAMPLE ... just a few posts above, you said the following:
'Donald plays THIS season, (as we expect him to), or, respectfully, shuts the fuck up about it, forever.'

I don't know that most of us here on ROD have an expectation that Donald plays in 2026.
Maybe a hope or guess based on speculation. YOU might have an expectation.

The second comment is just silly, because I don't think Donald has spoken much or AT ALL about playing again since he retired more than two years ago. In fact, I think the opposite is true and accurate. He has consistently used the simple phrase ... 'I am full'.

Maybe he is thinking about coming-back. He has not definitively said he is not coming back but, Maybe he is not sure and doesn't want to say anything until he has made-up-his mind. Maybe he just enjoys the attention.

I don't know. But You don't know either. It's all just speculation.

However, to write that he needs to 'shut the fuck up' when has has NOT been talking about returning is silly; and, in my opinion, your opinions lose credibility when you suggest things that are not accurate.

He hasn't been talking about it? Really???? He didnt say his interest was peaked when Garrett was acquired??? He didnt say he was thinking about it IF we acquired Parsons??? Are you actually FOLLOWING this League?

According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, Donald acknowledged that the idea of returning has crossed his mind when asked about the possibility of joining Garrett on the Rams’ defensive front.
