NFL Fines Seahawks' Jamal Adams $50,000 for Berating and Making Inappropriate Contact with Concussion Doctor

Incident during Seahawks-Bengals game marks second altercation in as many games between Adams and concussion doctors; Adams not considered a "repeat offender" by NFL.

The NFL has fined Seattle Seahawks defensive back Jamal Adams $50,000 for his conduct towards an independent concussion doctor during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6. This conduct included verbal remarks and inappropriate physical contact while the doctor was evaluating Seahawks wide receiver Jake Bobo for a possible concussion.
The fine came after the incident occurred while Jake Bobo was being evaluated for a concussion after a 20-yard reception. The incident was caught on tape, with Adams repeating 'He good!' as the doctor and Bobo walked towards the medical tent for evaluation.
This marks the second incident in as many games between Adams and an independent concussion doctor. A similar exchange occurred during a Week 4 game against the New York Giants after Adams was ruled out with a concussion, although Adams was not penalized for this incident following a public apology.
In his apology, Adams acknowledged the concussion doctor's role and expressed regret for his actions, stating: 'You did everything right when you realized I was concussed, I apologize for any negative energy I brought your way. Prioritizing player’s health is essential. Much respect to you!'
Despite the prior incident, the NFL did not consider Adams a 'repeat offender' when deciding on the $50,000 fine.
