THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) Aaron Donald only participated in a walkthrough and some light conditioning drills as the Los Angeles Rams opened their three-day minicamp Tuesday.
But simply having the standout defensive tackle around was a good start.
Donald had skipped all voluntary workouts this offseason as part of a stalemate over his contract, as he is entering the fourth season of his rookie deal.
The Rams picked up his fifth-year option in April, but Donald is in line for a massive extension that will almost certainly make him the highest-paid interior lineman. And he could sign one of the biggest contracts for a defender in league history after recording 28 sacks in his first three seasons.
