The Los Angeles Rams have announced 11 captains for the 2026 season, marking the largest number during Sean McVay's tenure, per Yahoo Sports. McVay acknowledged the team is flush with leadership heading into the season.

The captain count comes as Aaron Donald has officially unretired to rejoin the Rams. Multiple outlets reported on Donald's return, with some framing it as a Super Bowl push for the franchise. However, Sean McVay has not provided a timeline for when Donald will play in his first game after two years away, per ESPN. Donald missed practice as planned, with his return date to be determined.

Yahoo Sports also examined what the 2026 version of Donald might look like after ten straight seasons of elite play followed by his two-year absence.
