# Diante Lee: A Ringer training camp preview posing one question per team; it commits to a few concrete outcomes — Aaron Donald coming out of retirement with the Rams, Kyler Murray winning Minnesota's starting quarterback job, and Malik Willis opening as Miami's Week 1 starter.

**Claimed:** Aug 12, 2026
**Pundit:** Diante Lee — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/diante-lee
**How it reached us:** published in writing
**Original:** https://www.theringer.com/2026/07/23/nfl/nfl-training-camp-2026-one-question-all-32-teams

3 checkable claims — 2 depth chart calls and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

It names 6 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

1 of 3 have settled so far, averaging 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess at the same calls.

Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room.

> At this point, the unretirement of defensive tackle Aaron Donald feels inevitable.
