Davante Adams Says Frustration Led to Deleted Tweet

If you’re frustrated, remember to stay away from Twitter. The Green Bay Packers’ receiver admitted that frustration led to his since-deleted tweet on the morning of his team’s most recent game Oct. 5 against the Falcons, when he said it was the team’s decision, not his, to hold him out.

“Sorry fans and friends I wont be on the field tonight,” Adams tweeted early Monday. “I’ve done everything I need to do and proved Im ready but I guess I don’t know my body as well as others. Good luck out there my boys.”

Now he’s explaining why he sent out that tweet:

“It’s not too much to read into it to say I was frustrated,” Adams said on Wednesday, according to ESPN‘s Rob Demovsky. “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 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.”

Davante Adams made no apologies for his desire to play — and even play hurt.

Could this be the week the Packers let him back on the field? It’s trending that way.

Adams appears on track to play Sunday for the undefeated Packers (4-0) against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-2). Twitter can be a real problem with athletes these days.
