Packers WR Davante Adams won't play vs. Falcons

In a tweet that was later deleted, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams appeared to lash out at the club's medical staff and said that he won't play on Monday night versus the Atlanta Falcons due to the hamstring injury he suffered in the Week 2 win over the Detroit Lions. 

"Sorry fans and friends I wont be on the field tonight," the 27-year-old wrote, per ESPN. "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."

Adams caught 14 of 17 passes delivered by quarterback Aaron Rodgers and scored twice in Green Bay's season-opening triumph over the Minnesota Vikings. Without Adams in the lineup, the Packers beat the New Orleans Saints 37-30 on Sept. 27. 

Fellow Green Bay receiver Allen Lazard also won't play against Atlanta after undergoing core muscle surgery last week.
