Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald will make his first start since holding out throughout the summer in search of a new contract, head coach Sean McVay revealed Friday, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Donald, widely considered the NFL's best defensive tackle, returned to the team before its season opener against the Indianapolis Colts, but was rendered inactive by the Rams.
The 26-year-old refused to discuss his contract status upon rejoining the Rams. He will earn $1.8 million in base salary this season and holds a $3.2-million cap hit.
Donald has earned three consecutive Pro Bowl selections and been named to the All-Pro first team the last two years.
