Davante Adams Cleared to Return After Head Hit in Rams-Panthers Wild-Card Game

His scare comes weeks after a hamstring setback sidelined him late in the season.

Overview

  • Adams absorbed a third-quarter shot to the head from Nick Scott on a deep target, drawing an unnecessary roughness flag for helmet-to-helmet contact, according to multiple reports.
  • He left the field under his own power and entered the medical tent as cameras showed a bloody tongue consistent with reports that he bit it during the collision.
  • The receiver was evaluated for a possible concussion and was cleared to re-enter the game, returning later in the same quarter.
  • Broadcasts and outlets including Fox Sports, The Sporting News, and NFL Network detailed the sequence from the hit to the on-site evaluation and clearance.
  • The team had not issued any update beyond his in-game clearance at the time of reporting, following his recent return from a hamstring injury that cost him late-season games.
