Aaron Donald reportedly absent for first day of Rams camp

Los Angeles Rams contract-year defensive tackle Aaron Donald was absent for the start of training camp on Wednesday.

What It Means:

This isn't a surprise as Donald continues to hold out for a new deal ahead of the final year of his rookie deal. The 27-year-old star sat out all of training camp last season before going on to win the Defensive Player of the Year Award.

numberFire's models project Donald to rack up 53.8 tackles and 11.3 sacks this season.
