It is just a matter of days when the Rams perform in the regular-season opener. However, Aaron Donald is already surrounded by some controversy. The joint training camps often turn into a brawl, and the Bengals-Rams training was no different. Donald became the talk of the town after swinging two helmets during the altercation. He also gave his honest take, but the NFL fans do not seem to buy it.
Aaron Donald stated unequivocally after Wednesday practice that his priority is the season opener, not the practice confrontation. When asked if they worked on the matter, the DT set forth that it was only ‘practice’ and that he wanted to concentrate on the first opposition of the regular season.

Donald mentioned via AP Pro Football Podcast, “It was just a practice. It was football. I don’t really want to go back to nothing negative that happened and talk about something that happened in a practice. My main focus is Buffalo.”

As per ESPN, the fresh-off Super Bowl champ was tossed to the ground after swinging a helmet during a fistfight. That ended the joint exercise between the touring Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals. Moreover, the NFL will not penalize Donald since the event happened during practice. Franchises are accountable for managing disciplinary actions against their players on such occasions.
