Landover, Md. — Wide reciever Davante Adams left Sunday's game in the third quarter with a knee injury but believes he avoided anything serious.

"It’s a little sore now, but I think I’ll be fine," Adams said in the locker room "I’ve just got to feel it out throughout the week and see how I’m doing."

Adams was injured on the first offensive play of the second half for the Green Bay Packers, who advanced to the divisional round of the playoffs with a 35-18 win over the Washington Redskins that featured a double-digit comeback.

Adams caught a 9-yard screen pass from quarterback Aaron Rodgers and was tripped from behind by linebacker Will Compton. When he fell, tight end Richard Rodgers landed on top of Adams and crunched the right knee back into the receiver's chest.

"He just rolled up on me after I got tackled on that screen," Adams said.

The medical staff for the Packers evaluated Adams and made the decision to keep him out for the remainder of the game. He finished with four catches for 48 yards and one touchdown.

"They said that it’s just going to be a thing that they felt it would probably be best and smartest if I sat out the rest of the half," Adams said. "It’s a situation where you just feel it out throughout the week, but I think I’ll be fine."

Adams hopes to be back on the field for next week's game against the Arizona Cardinals. The teams played two weeks ago in Glendale, Arizona, in a lopsided bout that ended 38-8 in favor of the Cardinals, the No. 2 seed in the NFC.

After that game on Dec. 27, Adams said he would love an opportunity for a playoff rematch. His wish was granted, as long as the knee complies.

"You’ve just got to remember how you felt walking off that field when we got blown out," Adams said. "It’s the type of thing, they say have a short memory. But with things like that, you want to keep something like that in the back of your mind, just bring a little bit extra dog out of yourself."
