Davante Adams, wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers, has been released from the hospital on Friday. Adams was hospitalized on Thursday night after Chicago Bears linebacker Danny Trevathan performed an unnecessary and dirty hit on him. After leaving the hospital, Adams went on his Twitter profile and shared an update on his condition.
At home feeling great. Appreciate the prayers🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

“Davante Adams is technically in the concussion protocol. He’s home. Had a chance to visit with Davante briefly last night. He’s rambunctious and ready to move forward. But yes, he’s home and everything looks good.” –said Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy on Friday.
In the third quarter of the convincing win against the Bears, Packers’ Davante Adams caught a pass and found himself surrounded by the Bears’ defenders. Adams was held up and the play was basically over. Danny Trevathan obviously didn’t think so, since he drilled his helmet into Adams’ and knocked him on the ground. You can check the incident below, but be aware of disturbing footage.

After the tackle, Adams was taken off the field and Bears only received a 15-yard penalty. Now the play is being reviewed for possible further discipline according to league sources.
“I did not [realize how bad it was],” Danny Trevathan said after the game. “I realized it once he laid there for while. I knew it wasn’t good. I immediately dropped down and started praying.“
Trevathan also added that he didn’t have any intentions to hurt Adams.
“I saw the hit. It wasn’t intentional. Not at all. I wasn’t trying to break his neck. I was trying to make a play. He was trying to get into the end zone. My speed picked up and I just tried to make a tackle.” – argued Trevathan while saying that his main concern is that Davante Adams is ok.
