On the heels of injuries sustained by San Francisco 49ers running back Reggie Bush and Cleveland Browns quarterback Josh McCown at the Edward Jones Dome, the St. Louis Rams are taking measures to prevent problems in the future.
According to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com, the Rams and Edward Jones Dome stadium authority are using a padding to cover the concrete that is directly in front of the stands.
