Donald is used to it, but he’s grateful he didn’t have to fight this week when the Rams hosted the Raiders again.“Not too much stuff, but obviously football is football,” Donald said. “You’re going to have those days when (it’s) a little chippy, but it comes with it. But it was a good day’s work.”The Rams’ two days of joint workouts against Las Vegas this week didn’t include anythin...
