Will play Sunday
Published: 2023-09-17
Yeast (knee) is active Sunday against the 49ers.

Considered questionable
Published: 2023-09-16
Yeast is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers due to a knee injury, Stu Jackson of the team's official website reports.
Yeast popped up on the injury report after practicing in limited fashion Friday. His knee issue presumably occurred at practice at some point during the week. John Johnson would likely be in line to fill in at free safety if he is ultimately unable to go.
Back at minicamp
Published: 2023-06-14
Yeast (chest) was spotted participating in Los Angeles' minicamp Tuesday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Yeast suffered a pulmonary contusion to his chest on January 8 during the Rams' season finale, but he has since had the offseason to move past the issue. The 2022 seventh-round pick was working alongside fellow safeties Jordan Fuller and Quentin Lake throughout minicamp. In his rookie campaign, Yeast tallied 20 tackles in 15 appearances. The Kansas State product will compete with Lake for the second starting safety position alongside Fuller in L.A. ahead of this upcoming season.
OK after hospitalization
Published: 2023-01-08
Yeast (chest) went to the hospital for a pulmonary contusion after Sunday's game against the Seahawks, but he is in stable condition and expected to be okay, Gilbert Manzano of the Orange County Register reports.
Yeast exited in the first half due to a chest injury. The rookie safety was making his first NFL start in the season finale. He will have plenty of time to recover over the offseason.
Ruled out of Sunday's game
Published: 2023-01-08
Yeast (chest) won't return to Sunday's game at Seattle.
Prior to his departure in the first half, Yeast racked up three tackles while working in place of typical starting free safety Nick Scott (shoulder). Quentin Lake will take on more reps at the position alongside Taylor Rapp for the rest of Week 18
Exits with injury
Published: 2023-01-08
Yeast (chest) is questionable to return Sunday against the Seahawks, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Yeast was expected to take on a bigger role Week 18 with Nick Scott (shoulder) out. However, the injury could end the day early for the rookie. While he is out, Quentin Lake should take on a bigger role.
Set for expanded role in Week 18
Published: 2023-01-06
Yeast is likely to draw the start at free safety in Week 18 against the Seahawks, Greg Beacham of The Associated Press reports.
With Nick Scott (shoulder) unavailable for the season finale, Yeast is likely to take over and replace him in the secondary. Yeast has appeared in 14 of the Rams' games this season, recording 17 tackles while operating mostly as a special-teams option.
