The Seattle Seahawks star safety Jamal Adams reportedly might face discipline from the NFL for his inappropriate behavior on the sidelines during Monday night’s game against the New York Giants.
Adams took a helmet hit in the first quarter on one play and was slow to get up while looking unstable on his feet. He went into the medical tent for a concussion examination and apparently wasn’t satisfied with something the independent concussion doctor said. The 27-year-old player was later seen yelling at the doctor and had to be calmed down by the Seahawks’ coaching staff.
If the league ends up deciding to discipline Adams, the most likely outcome is that he will receive a hefty fine but avoid suspension. For his part, Adams already issued a public apology for his actions directed at the doctor.
When asked by reporters about the reasons for Adams’ frustration, Seahawks’ head coach Pete Carroll didn’t offer many details.
“By the time they got all the assessments done, he couldn’t play,” said Carol earlier in the week. “Somebody said something that wasn’t with us. It was somebody else that he might have responded to. I’m not sure about that.”
The game against the Giants was a season debut for Adams. He previously missed all but one game of the 2022 campaign while dealing with a torn quad tendon.
