The Green Bay Packers are set to play the Atlanta Falcons tonight, and although the Falcons are expected to have their two star wideouts in the mix – Julio Jones (hamstring) and Calvin Ridley (ankle) – the Green Bay Packers likely won’t have Davante Adams.
Limited at practice this week because of a hamstring injury, it tentatively looked like Adams was trending toward playing when he practiced in pads on Friday.
But based on what he just tweeted out, it sounds like not only is he not going to play … he’s not happy about it:
Sorry fans and friends I wont be on the field tonight. 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, 27, will get two more weeks to rest up if he misses tonight, because the Packers have a bye next week. It’s certainly possible they still beat up on a terrible Falcons secondary even without Adams.
UPDATE: Adams deleted the tweet, but the internet remembers:
