Aaron Donald remains a doubt for Divisional Round Playoffs

Former Baltimore Ravens center Jeff Saturday made his weekly appearance on ESPN’s Get Up. The former player-turned-analyst spoke about the impact of Aaron Donald’s potential absence can harm the Rams this weekend.

He said, “Enormous, I don’t care what anybody says rib pain, and that and your core, and the abuse you’re going to take in a football game is second to none. I mean, it is literally a car wreck every Sunday, and he’s such an explosive player, Greenie, he uses core, he can hit you. I mean, he’s a smaller guy, but he can hit you with power….with the core being injured the way it is, I’m not sure we’ll have that same explosive power and be able to get guys on skates. It’s going to be a big injury to overcome.”

“And listen, this isn’t a ‘pain shots going to take this thing away type of thing.’ When you’re talking about the internal part of your ribs. I don’t care if it’s a cartilage, if it’s a broken rib. This is a super painful injury. And rest assured every Packer offensive lineman knows he’s hurt,” Saturday said on the show.

The Rams are yet to give official confirmation on Donald’s inclusion against the Green Bay Packers. But Rams fans will be hopeful that Donald will fight through the pain and play on Saturday. Knowing his passion for the game, that is a realistic scenario.
