Outlook • According to court documents, settlement negotiations have been going on for weeks, encompassing the months of July and August. It looks as if this case could end in a settlement, which could bring PSL holders several million dollars in total. If negotiations are successful, a settlement could be reached sometime this year.

Two factors may have steered the Rams toward settlement negotiations: the ruling for class-action status and the nearly $12.5 million award in June to former NFL running back Reggie Bush in St. Louis Circuit Court.

Bush suffered a knee injury at the dome in a 2015 game as a member of the San Francisco 49ers when he slipped on the exposed concrete surface at the edge of the floor after running out of bounds.

The Rams were found 100 percent liable for the injury. The size of the monetary award surprised some NFL observers because Bush was near the end of his career at the time of the injury and hadn’t done much as a player since 2013.
