SEATTLE — Los Angeles Rams rookie safety Russ Yeast has a pulmonary contusion and was taken to the hospital, coach Sean McVay said on Sunday.
Yeast left the Rams’ 19-16 loss to the Seattle Seahawks with a chest injury, and was taken in an ambulance to the hospital. He is in stable condition, McVay said, but will stay overnight.
“We’ll pray for him, but I think he’s going to be OK,” McVay said. “I’ve gotten good news on what we know is not something that you take lightly.”
McVay said he wasn’t sure how Yeast sustained the injury.
According to a team spokesperson, Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey and defensive backs coaches Jonathan Cooley and Chris Shula went to the hospital after the game to see Yeast.
