Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams was taken off the field on a stretcher after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit from Chicago Bears linebacker Danny Trevathan during Thursday Night Football at Lambeau Field.
The Packers faced a third-and-goal from the 16-yard line when Adams caught a short pass from Aaron Rodgers across the middle of the field. Bears defenders Pernell McPhee, DeAndre Houston-Carson, and Adrian Amos were already in the process of tackling Adams, when Trevathan came in and delivered a vicious hit to Adams’ head. Adams appeared to be knocked out cold, but did give a thumbs up to the crowd as he was stretchered off the field.
