The NFL announced the punishment Saturday. Trevathan can appeal the decision within three business days.
Adams was carted off the field on a stretcher in the third quarter after being hit in the head on Trevathan’s tackle. The game was delayed about 5 minutes.
The next day, Adams tweeted he was at home and “feeling great.”
“Davante Adams is technically in the concussion protocol,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy told Packers.com. “He’s rambunctious and ready to move forward. He’s home and everything looks good.”
Trevathan was called for an unnecessary roughness penalty following Adams’ 8-yard catch but was not ejected. He is eligible to return following Chicago’s game against Baltimore on Oct. 15.
