Aaron Donald briefly changes Twitter bio referring to himself as 'former' Rams player


For a few minutes Sunday, it looked as though Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald might have quietly announced his retirement. Out of nowhere, he changed his Twitter bio to read "former NFL D Linemen for the Rams #99," which caused fans to panic that he was no longer a member of the organization.

It would've been an odd way for Donald to announce his retirement or departure from the Rams, but it doesn't seem like he's going anywhere — for now.

After Twitter was abuzz with speculation about his future, Donald quickly changed his bio to remove the word "former."

Was he hacked? Was he just messing with fans? Or is something bigger on the horizon?

Here's a screenshot of his profile after Donald removed "former" from his bio.

Rams fans on Twitter were shocked by Donald's quick change on Twitter, believing for a little while that maybe he was retiring from the NFL.

It could mean nothing, but it could also mean something, which would be bad news for the Rams.
