Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams exited due to injury in the first quarter of Monday night’s 24-3 win over the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. The way he left the field was concerning since he could be seen screaming at a neurologist while seeming to have to be restrained by two members of the Seahawks staff.
Adams was injured when he was struck in the head by the knee of Giants quarterback Daniel Jones.
The NFL is considering discipline against Adams for his “actions” toward the doctor, according to ESPN.
In the meantime, Adams has released an apology for his actions.
“First and foremost, I want to apologize to the OG. 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!”
The three-time Pro Bowler was clearly excited for his return to the field, and made an immediate impact in his nine defensive snaps with two combined tackles.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Adams will be “fine” and he has time to recover with the bye week here for the Seahawks.
When healthy, Adams has been a difference maker for the Seahawks’ defense, including setting an NFL record for defensive backs with 9.5 sacks and earning Second-Team All-Pro honors in his first season with the team in 2020.
Since being acquired from the Jets for a pair of first-round picks, staying on the field has been problematic for Adams as he has missed 25 regular season games in three seasons.
