Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams recently made headlines after he sent out a tweet implying that he was not happy with how the team opted to hold him out of their game against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 4. Adams argued that despite his injury, he was feeling good enough to take the field, which pushed him to air out his frustrations on social media.
Adams recently opened up about the now-deleted tweet, as he explained his side of the story:
“It’s not too much to read into it to say I was frustrated,” Adams said, via Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com (h/t Josh Alper of NBC Sports). “Obviously, I’m a competitor. I think everybody knows that. Everybody knows what I’m about and how I play football. I don’t necessarily, obviously, understand what the club’s interest [is] and everything that goes with it. But being a competitor, like I said, and me being who I am and how I’m wired, even if I’m not 100 percent, which I said obviously at that point I felt great to play. But even if I’m not 100 percent, I mean, I’ve played few football games feeling 100 percent. So at the end of the day, a lot of that factored into the decision.”
The 27-year-old did shed some light as to what he was thinking when he sent out the tweet, but he didn't exactly sound apologetic about saying what he said earlier. Adams basically just expounded on the cryptic tweet.
Recent reports state that Adams has been progressing well in practice, and that he might finally be able to suit up when the Packers face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 6.
