The Dallas Cowboys\u2019 Week 15 showdown against the Los Angeles Rams is seemingly about to get much scarier based on the latest news surrounding the NFC rival and\u2026 Aaron Donald. <\/p>\n

Considering the Dallas Cowboys threw their hat into the ring during the Maxx Crosby sweepstakes<\/a>, many assumed getting involved in the race for Myles Garrett made sense. Of course, no we know they didn\u2019t. <\/p>\n

But the latest NFL news has us thinking about it again because well, not trading for Garrett may turn out to be more expensive than previously thought. <\/p>\n

Cowboys may face two-headed monster no NFL quarterback wants to face<\/p>\n

You see, Garrett ended up going to the Los Angeles Rams, which are scheduled to play the Cowboys in Week 15. From the start, facing the consensus top defender in the NFL wasn\u2019t ideal. But now, one of the all-time greats may be invited to the party, too. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s because Aaron Donald, who retired in 2024 after eight first-team All-Pro seasons in a ten-year career, is closer than ever to making a comeback. And that\u2019s mostly because of the Garrett trade. <\/p>\n

Donald recently practiced at the Rams\u2019 facilities. ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter described<\/a> the outing as a way of seeing how he felt as Donald mulls a comeback. <\/p>\n

\u201c(Donald) told the team that he wanted to go there, work out, see how he felt, see how he reacted,\u201d Schefter said on The Pat McAfee Show. \u201cI don\u2019t know what he told them about that after he went through those workouts at the facility. But I know the thinking was just a trial method to see how his body reacted, how his mind reacted to being back out there.\u201d <\/p>\n

Schefter added his guess is Donald will indeed come back to the NFL and play this year. <\/p>\n

When the Rams acquired Garrett, NFL fans immediately entered speculation mode. Donald making a return to a dream scenario made plenty of sense. After all, Donald didn\u2019t retire because of age nor play decline. He pretty much got bored. <\/p>\n

With the Super Bowl taking place at SoFi Stadium next year, it\u2019s a near-perfect situation. Donald can join his old team, which already looks like the favorite to win it all, play with the best pass rusher there in football, all while potentially taking on a limited workload. <\/p>\n

Rams matchup will likely be key for Cowboys<\/p>\n

I know it\u2019s not like Garrett will join the NFC East. But a late season showdown against a Top NFC opponent will likely be huge for the Cowboys, whose win total is projected at 9.5. Making the playoffs will come down to the wire with this team. Games like this will be incredibly important. <\/p>\n

It will also be quite the measuring stick game in late December. It\u2019s looking like to win, the offensive line will have a major challenge ahead: Blocking the league\u2019s best defender today and one of the league\u2019s greatest defenders ever. <\/p>\n
