Seahawks' Jamal Adams fined $50,000 weeks after avoiding discipline for similar altercation

Adams missed the first three games of the 2023 campaign as he recovered from last year's season-ending torn quadriceps.

During his return to the field in Week 4 against the New York Giants, the 28-year-old suffered a concussion, was evaluated on the sidelines and told he was out for the remainder of the game. Adams shouted furiously at the doctor who examined him before members of the Seahawks separated the two.

The former All-Pro apologized on social media later in the week, writing that the doctor "did everything right."

After reviewing the occurrence, the NFL decided not to punish Adams.

The new incident in question happened during Seattle's Week 6 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Per Jonathan Jones of the NFL on CBS, the league said in a letter to the three-time Pro Bowler this week that he "interfered with orderly administration of the game when the unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant (UNC) was walking with Seahawks wide receiver Jake Bobo to the blue medical tent for evaluation of a concussion."

According to Jones' report, Bobo had just caught a 20-yard pass from quarterback Geno Smith but then received a "big hit" by Bengals safety Dax Hill that resulted in a penalty. The wideout was taken out of the contest for evaluation but passed the check and returned to the game.

Jones added in his report that a league source told him that Adams isn't considered a "repeat offender" and the $50,000 he's being docked doesn't "take into account the events on Oct. 2."

The former No. 6 overall pick has played just 55 defensive snaps across his two games this season, recording six solo tackles, one quarterback hit and one tackle for loss.
