ST. LOUIS -- After two players in as many weeks suffered injuries after running on to the concrete surrounding the Edward Jones Dome field, the Rams and stadium authority took steps to prevent further issues before Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears.
Earlier this week, Rams coach Jeff Fisher said he expected the 120-yard concrete stretch from end zone end line to end zone end line behind each team's bench to be covered with "some type of surface."
By Sunday morning, that was the case as blue rubber padding now covers the entire concrete area.
