The reaction to Trevathan's hit was swift:

Reminder: NFL emphasized in March that players can be ejected for egregious hits to head, suspended for first offense.

That is a suspension-worthy hit right there

That's dirtiest hit of season so far. Totally unnecessary.

Adams was knocked out of the game for the hit, and he wound up spending the night in the hospital due to a concussion. He was eventually released on Friday morning.
