The late hit by Chicago Bears linebacker Danny Trevathan on Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams during Thursday night’s game had many talking afterwards.
Adams was hit in the head by Trevathan despite being wrapped up by other players on a third quarter play. Adams was carted off and taken to the hospital, where he’s said to be doing well.

Trevathan was conciliatory after the game, saying he didn’t mean to hurt Adams. He showed genuine remorse. Trevathan could face a fine or suspension for the hit.
