The Los Angeles Rams have been ordered to pay Reggie Bush $12.45 million in damages for a knee injury he suffered in St. Louis in 2015.

Bush slipped on concrete and suffered a torn lateral meniscus. 

"I'm very happy with the verdict," Bush told the Post-Dispatch after the verdict. "The people spoke and decided very fairly."

A week before Bush suffered his injury, Cleveland Browns quarterback Josh McCown had been hurt on the same slab of concrete, sliding across it and into a wall and injuring his shoulder.

The St. Louis jury ordered the Rams to pay Bush $4.95 million in compensatory damages and $7.5 million in punitive damages.

Bush briefly returned to the NFL in 2016 with the Bills.

The Los Angeles Rams are trying to attract fans in San Diego left upset by the Chargers' relocation.

The Rams have gone as far as to strike a deal with San Diego sports radio station Mighty 1090 to broadcast Rams games in the market.

"We can't wait to invade San Diego," Les Snead told the station.
