Adams had been stood up after catching an eight-yard pass, and Trevathan came out of nowhere with his helmet lowered and directed a strike to the helmet of Adams.
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

Adams gave a thumbs up as he was carted off the field.
At the time of the injury, Adams had caught two passes for 13 yards and a touchdown. Trevathan had recorded 10 tackles.
