In Trevethan’s Helmet-to-Helmet hit, Adams’ mouthguard flew out of the helmet visor, unconsciously dropping to the ground.Adams’ team mates Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb waved immediately to the sidelines to request medical attention.
Happiness in misfortune: The Packers explained that after a while Adams was reaccessible and had feelings in all extremities.The Wideout was carried off the field with a stretcher and pointed upwards with his thumb.In the hospital he was examined for head and neck injuries.
“The news that has reached me about Davante so far is positive according to the circumstances,”said Packers-head coach Mike McCarthy,”He already wants to leave the hospital.That’s a very good sign.”
The hit was punished with a penalty for unnecessary harshness.Linebacker Trevathan, who later apologized for his hit, was not excluded from the game.A subsequent suspension could nevertheless await him.
During the game also injured itself packers running back Ty Montgomery.After a tackle in the first quarter, he had to leave the game early.As it turned out later, Montgomery has broken multiple ribs.
