Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald has ended his holdout, reporting to the team and taking his physical, a source confirmed to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Donald has not received a new contract, but the two sides will keep working toward one, the source told Schefter. He will not play in Sunday's season opener against the Indianapolis Colts.
Rams coach Sean McVay acknowledged that they wouldn't have the defensive tackle in Week 1, saying Saturday that "it's safe to say that he won't be a part of this game."
Tanzel Smart, a rookie sixth-round pick, is expected to take Donald's spot as the starting 3-technique lineman, lining up between the left guard and the left tackle in base 3-4 sets.
