Rams right tackle Jason Smith went to the hospital in an ambulance after suffering more concussion-related symptoms during the game against Seattle.

Smith wasn't even playing. He was inactive.

The second player chosen in the 2009 NFL draft watched the game from the sideline until experiencing those symptoms.

Coach Steve Spagnuolo did not immediately have details.

Sitting in a loud stadium wouldn't seem like the best way to recover from a concussion. Noise sensitivity is known to accompany concussions. But it's tough to know what might be bothering Smith, or the cause, without more information from medical professionals.
