Former New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush will receive $12.5 million from the Los Angeles Rams for an injury he suffered back when the team played in St. Louis, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Tuesday (June 12).

Bush, then with the San Francisco 49ers, slipped on a concrete surface that bordered the playing field at Edward Jones Dome in 2015 and suffered a torn knee ligament that put him out for the season.

On Tuesday, a St. Louis jury ruled the Rams were fully liable for the injury and ordered the team to pay Bush $4.95 million in compensatory damages and $7.5 million in punitive damages, the newspaper reported.

Bush, who field suit in 2016, suffered the injury when he returned a punt and was pushed out of bounds and slipped on what the lawsuit said was a "concrete ring of death" located about 35 feet behind the 49ers bench, the report said.
