Could Aaron Donald potentially miss Week 1 due to suspension?

Ah heck yeah! can't wait to see you face up against Donald week one! but if you aren't playing for Buffalo, I am kinda wondering what you are the best at? Number 1 rank in what? or rather, when have you ever faced the absolute best in anything?

[UKBillFan]

I wish someone losing his call whilst swinging a helmet was our biggest problem at the moment.

Hahahaha...I wouldn't play me in cornhole or poker or challenge me to a cook off.  I would smash Darnold in all of those...if you see him, tell him I said so and let him know I am just down the street if he is dumb enough to try me in those haha.  

 

And while you are at it, tell Allen and Diggs to avoid my lobbies on Warzone if they want to live 😂

Showing the hype is real and not wanting to hear excuses isn’t being competitive.  It’s surface level stuff imo. 
 

i just want one Lombardi before I die.  Donald could conceivably have an affect on that.

I hear ya, and you’re not wrong.  But I live in LA, so I’d rather beat them at their best.

Wait, doesn't losing to NFC teams improve our seeding?

Rams may expect to lose that game anyway and not be to worried about fighting to have him there.

lol, good reply... but I will take an advantage anyway possible for a win. If their QB has sifilus, all the better

Oh yeah, that’s understandable.  👍🏻

I’m not an analytics or math guy, but I’d say a loss vs and NFC team is worse than a win vs an NFC team.  
 

 

[mykidsdad]

In my very unbiased opinion I want him suspended for one game. That's the least the NFL can do.

they should just forfeit and save everyone some time.

[Ed_Formerly_of_Roch]

Is this a joint practice?  Seems like these joint practices are much wilder than games with fights all the time.  Maybe because in real games, teams are more focused on winning where here focus is different??

NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported that clubs, not the league, are responsible for overseeing players' conduct at practice. Thus, it's unlikely the league would discipline Donald or any other players for their roles in Wednesday's dustups, Pelissero added. Teams, however, can discipline their players for practice conduct.

If he had hurt someone I think there could be some sort of league discipline, or just force something there.  But it seems everyone got out ok so it'll be swept under the rug.

He was caught on film today striking opposing players while violently swinging a helmet.

 

Myles Garrett was given a 6 game suspension for similar behavior, though that was in a game and not a joint practice.

I really hope he is not suspended for this. Tempers flare during training camp. This needs to be dealt with "in-house" and not by the league, in my opinion.  

[K D]

So he can't be suspended by the NFL because it happened at practice is what they are saying.  So the NFL can suspend you for things you do on the field or off the field but just not on the practice field?  How about at the team facility when not practicing?  If Deshaun was doing that stuff to the team massage girls he wouldn't get in trouble?

There is a big difference between tempers flairing and striking someone with a hard object over the head. And someone who is NOT a teammate.

Theyre saying the NFL defers to teams for practice punishments. Not that they CANT punish. They just don’t.

[unbillievable]

The Rams are suspending Donald for 1 game.

 

He will not be playing in the last preseason game.
