Aaron Donald Won't Play In Pro Bowl
2 years agoLos Angeles Rams All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald (ankle) told the league that he will be unable to participate in this year's Pro Bowl. Washington Commanders defensive lineman Daron Payne will take Donald's place for the NFC. Donald, who has made the Pro Bowl in all nine of his NFL seasons, had the worst year of his career in 2022 and played in a career-low 11 games as a result of his ankle injury. The 31-year-old pass-rusher didn't play after Week 12 and could consider retirement after toying with the notion after the Rams won the Super Bowl the year prior. Payne, meanwhile, finished his fifth year in Washington with 64 tackles (32 solo), a career-high 11.5 sacks, 18 tackles for loss, 20 QB hits, five passes defensed and a fumble recovery in 17 games.
