The Los Angeles Rams will progress from voluntary OTAs to mandatory minicamp, holding three practice sessions this week from Tuesday to Thursday. It’s the final time the Rams will have everyone on the field together until training camp, which will begin sometime in July.
While it’s possible there will be players who skip this week’s minicamp, the expectation is that the full team will be in attendance – including Aaron Donald.
His attendance is one of the biggest storylines heading into minicamp, along with a handful of others to follow.
(Update: Donald signed a new contract Monday and will attend minicamp)

Aaron Donald’s attendance
Sean McVay said the plan is for Donald to attend minicamp. Donald hasn’t said specifically what he’ll do, but the expectation is that he’ll be there despite ongoing contract talks with the Rams. McVay seems confident that those talks are going well and even said they’re “trending in the right direction,” so there doesn’t appear to be any real issues between the two sides, but you’d still love to see No. 99 suiting up in practice this week. If he does report to minicamp, it’ll be a really positive sign for his chances of playing in 2022.

Right guard rotation
Rookie Logan Bruss was getting reps with the Rams’ starting offensive linemen during OTAs, but McVay said not to buy into that too much because they didn’t have their complete group together yet. However, the fact that he’s already working into the rotation with the starters is encouraging.
In order to win a starting job, Bruss will need to beat out Bobby Evans, Tremayne Anchrum and Coleman Shelton, which he certainly seems capable of doing. We’ll get a better sense of his preparedness in minicamp when just about everyone will be in attendance.
