The bad man is back. According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, Aaron Donald is officially returning to the Los Angeles Rams lineup for Monday night.
If you are an offensive lineman for the Buffalo Bills, this is the exact opposite of the news you wanted heading into a primetime road game. Preparing for the Rams without Donald is a standard week of film study. Preparing for them with him requires a support group.
"Mike Garafolo reported Donald's return and noted Quentin Lake is trending in the right direction."
Garafolo also noted that safety Quentin Lake is questionable but trending in the right direction. Getting reinforcements at the back of the secondary is great, but getting a generational wrecking ball back on the defensive line is what actually tilts the field.
Los Angeles is coming off a gritty 24-20 road win over the Eagles. They managed to hold the line and secure a tight victory without their anchor, but dropping Donald back into the mix completely changes the math for this upcoming matchup.
From a betting perspective, his return instantly scrambles the board. You have to rethink Buffalo's offensive ceiling, quarterback pressure props, and the overall game total when a guy who routinely blows up double-teams is suddenly active and angry.
The Bills roll into Los Angeles on Monday night. We will see exactly how much rust Donald has to shake off, but history suggests it will not take long for him to ruin someone's evening.
