Davante Adams Says Aaron Rodgers' Injury Was Like A 'Horrible Movie'

Former teammate Davante Adams is speaking out about the season-ending injury that New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered Monday night.

Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams were considered one of the best quarterback-receiver duos in the NFL for the Packers -- but then Adams went to the Raiders while Rodgers went to the Jets.

NFL fans watched in shock when Rodgers went down on the field just four plays into his Jets season debut. On Tuesday morning, the quarterback underwent an MRI, which confirmed everyone's fear -- a torn Achilles.

The wide receiver spoke out about watching his old teammate go down on the field Monday night, explaining why he didn't post on social media.

“Really tough, man,” Adams said on the Aaron Rodgers injury in his Wednesday press conference at The Greenbrier. “I didn’t want to really take to social media because I spoke to him directly and reached out immediately. I was watching it on the plane as we were on the way over here. And it’s like a horrible movie, you don’t want to see the main character go down like that at all, let alone as early as what it was."

Adams then added, "And I know he was excited and I was definitely excited to see him go out there and ball out. I know he was feeling rejuvenated and excited about the opportunity to work with a really good team, so it sucks."

The wide receiver went on to say, “That’s my guy though, so I let him know basically I’m here for him in whatever way that I can. I don’t know what I can do to make him feel better at this point, especially obviously with us being in season now as well, but like I said, it sucks and I’m just praying that his mental is in a good spot right now and he continues to overcome it, and obviously that team as well.”

The Raiders host the Jets in Week 10, which is currently scheduled for Sunday Night Football. Although Aaron Rodgers won't be playing, it is expected that Davante Adams still take the field.

Last night, Aaron Rodgers took to Instagram, speaking out for the first time since his injury Monday night.

“Thank you to every person that has reached out, called, texted, DM’d connected through a friend, etc. It has meant a ton to me, and I’ll try and get back to all of you soon 🥹❤️,” Rodgers posted on Instagram. “I’m completely heartbroken and moving through all of the emotions, but deeply touched and humbled by the support and love. 💔 Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I begin the healing process today. 🙏 ♾️ ❤️”.

The quarterback then wrote a quote. “The night is darkest before the dawn. And I shall rise yet again,” he said before concluding with, “Proud of my guys, 1-0 🛩️ #.”

Quarterback Zach Wilson finished the game on Monday night and is now the new starting quarterback now that Rodgers is out.
