“Aaron Donald might not have broken his ribs, but the Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle is still dealing with a painful injury,” writes Kevin Patra of NFL.com. “NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday morning that Donald has torn rib cartilage, per sources informed of the situation. It’s a painful injury, but one that Donald is expected to play through.”
Although a painful injury, Coach Sean McVay said Sunday the rib injury isn’t expected to affect the DT’s game status against the Packers.
How many snaps he’s able to handle could play a big role in which club moves on to the NFC Championship Game.
