Pack’s Adams OK after ‘brutal hit’
receiver tweeted Friday that he was at home and “feeling great” a day after taking a frightening hit from Bears linebacker Packers wide
Adams was taken off the field on a stretcher with about 4 minutes left in the third quarter of Thursday night’s 35-14 win over the Bears after getting hit in the head during a tackle by Trevathan.
The Packers said he was conscious and taken to a hospital for evaluation for possible head and neck injuries, and that he had feeling in all of his extremities.
Trevathan was called for an unnecessary roughness penalty following Adams’ 8-yard catch but wasn’t ejected and any fine wouldn’t come to light until next week.
“Brutal hit,” coach said. “It’s a helmet-to-helmet hit. Davante was in a compromised position. Obviously, like everything in our game, it’s evaluated, and I’m sure there will be continued conversation going on through the channels long past today.” Packers
