Additionally, Los Angeles head coach Sean McVay also dropped a hint that apart from Donald, defensive back Jaylen Watson will also be ready to give it a go for Week 5's Monday Night Football showdown.
"The expectation is that as long as they progress accordingly, then they'll be ready to go," McVay said, via Stu Jackson of the Rams' official website.

Donald, who has four combined tackles and zero sacks so far in his comeback from retirement, missed the Eagles game due to back soreness, while Watson sat out with a shoulder injury.
Despite missing the services of the two players, the Rams managed to eke out a 24-20 come-from-behind win at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Down by 10 points in the fourth quarter, the Rams found a way to take down the Eagles, as they scored a pair of touchdowns with under five minutes left in regulation.

Having Donald and Watson back will be a big boost for Los Angeles' defense, especially against the Bills' high-flying attack. The Bills enter Week 5 with a league-best average of 31.8 points per game. They are also eight in the NFL overall with 386.3 total yards per outing.
Conversely, the Rams are ninth with 20.8 points allowed and second with only 247.5 total yards surrendered per contest.
