Los Angeles Rams rookie safety Russ Yeast is stable after he sustained a pulmonary contusion during an overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Yeast left the game in Seattle due to what the Rams said was a chest injury. He was transported to a local hospital, where he’ll be kept overnight for further evaluation. Thankfully, head coach Sean McVay said, \u201che’s going to be OK.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several Rams players, including Jalen Ramsey, left Lumen Field almost immediately after the game to see Yeast at the hospital.<\/p>\n

A pulmonary contusion, per the Mayo Clinic, is a bruise to the lung tissue that can cause the lungs to fill with blood and make breathing extremely difficult. It’s unclear specifically how Yeast sustained the injury.<\/p>\n

Yeast started Sunday in place of Nick Scott, which marked his first start of the season. The 23-year-old was selected in the seventh round of the 2022 draft out of Kansas State. He had three total tackles in Seattle, and finished the season with 20.<\/p>\n

The Seahawks beat the Rams 19-16 in overtime after a Jason Myers field goal. The Rams finished the season 5-12 following their Super Bowl win last season.<\/p>\n
