SANTA CLARA, Calif. - After seeing his top receiver lying motionless on the field inside Levi’s Stadium for a few frightening moments, Aaron Rodgers finally got a thumbs-up from Davante Adams.
Only then was the Green Bay Packers quarterback able to exhale. At least, Rodgers thought midway through Sunday night’s fourth quarter, Adams was OK after receiving a brutal blow from San Francisco 49ers safety Jimmie Ward. He approached Adams, who was still on the ground, as the Packers' medical staff swarmed.
“He gave me a thumbs-up,” Rodgers said.
