Two weeks ago, the NFL announced that Seahawks safety Jamal Adams wouldn’t be disciplined for yelling at the independent concussion doctor on the sideline at MetLife Stadium on Oct. 2.
That being said, the league didn’t let Adams get away with a second sideline argument.
During the Seahawks’ loss to the Bengals in Week 6, Adams got into an argument with a doctor in the bench area.
According to Jonathan Jones of CBS, the NFL has fined Adams $50,000 because he “directed verbal remarks and made inappropriate physical contact” with the doctor.

A few days after Adams argued with the independent doctor at MetLife Stadium, he issued an apology on social media.
“First and foremost, I want to apologize to the OG,” Adams said. “You did everything right when you realized I was concussed, I apologize for any negative energy I brought your way. Watching the replay, I am thankful for your patience knowing I wasn’t myself in that moment. You’re a real one and you serve a great purpose that benefits the NFL and so many players. Prioritizing player’s health is essential. Much respect to you!”
Adams has not yet commented on the situation that took place in Cincinnati.
