Sean McVay, the coach of the Los Angeles Rams, said Friday that he is unlikely to play again this year.

Donald hasn't played since suffering a high ankle sprain in Week 12 against the Kansas City Chiefs, with the team taking it a week at a time with his return.

Donald would probably not be cleared before the end of the season according to Mc Vay.

Will he be cleared to be that guy? McVay made a statement. We will talk to him if he is. We will make a decision on the side of being smarter if not. He's definitely earned the right place to talk to him. I don't know if that will change in the next few weeks.

Donald has 5 sacks, 10 tackles for a loss, 11 quarterback hits and 1 forced fumbled in 11 games this season.

Donald was named to his ninth Pro Bowl despite missing three games with an injury.
