Packers' Adams stretchered off after taking vicious head shot

Green Bay Packers receiver Davante Adams was taken off the field on a stretcher Thursday night after taking a vicious head shot from Chicago Bears linebacker Danny Trevathan.

Adams was battling for more yards after catching a pass from Aaron Rodgers in the third quarter when Trevathan launched himself at his opponent's helmet. The Bears defender was given a 15-yard penalty on the play but somehow avoided an ejection.

The fourth-year wideout did give a thumbs up to the crowd as he was stretchered off the field, and the Packers announced that he is conscious and has feeling in all his extremities as he heads to the hospital.
