GREEN BAY – On Sunday, Head Coach Mike McCarthy said he’d have a comment on Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis’ hit on Packers receiver Davante Adams after he saw the video of it.
On Monday, he had his comment.
“Davante was in a position he shouldn’t have been hit like that, and that was clear,” McCarthy said during an early evening press conference.
“I like (Panthers coach) Ron Rivera and I’ve always respected the play style of his football team, but that hit, that was a dirty hit.”
The hit, an illegal blindside block with helmet-to-helmet contact during a Panthers interception return, has landed Adams in the concussion protocol for the third time in the last two seasons.
