Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams has been fined $50,Fastexy000 for inappropriate conduct toward a doctor, his second incident with a league doctor in as many games.
According to CSB Sports, Adams "directed verbal remarks and made inappropriate physical contact" with an unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant (UNC) that was walking Seattle receiver Jake Bobo toward the blue medical tent for evaluation during the Seahawks' 17-13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
Sunday's incident follows Adams' sideline outburst directed at a doctor after he sustained a concussion in his return to the football field in the Seahawks' Week 4 "Monday Night Football" win over the New York Giants after he missed nearly all of 2022 with a quadriceps injury.
Adams, who has started all 73 games he has played in seven seasons in the league, made two Pro Bowls with the New York Jets (2018 and 2019) and one with the Seahawks (2020).

Why was Jamal Adams fined?
In the third quarter of the Seahawks' loss to the Bengals on Sunday, Geno Smith completed a 20-yard pass to Bobo, who was hit hard by Bengals safety Dax Hill. Hill was penalized on the play.
Bobo came off the field and was checked for a concussion when Adams interfered with the evaluation. CBS Sports reported that the incident was captured on film and reviewed by the league, which decided it was enough to levy a fine against Adams. The outlet added that Adams' first incident earlier this month did not factor into the fine.
Bobo cleared concussion protocol and re-entered the game.
Jamal Adams' first incident
On Oct. 2, Adams was removed from the Seahawks' "MNF" game against the Giants after he suffered a concussion on the ninth play when his helmet collided with Giants quarterback Daniel Jones' knee. Adams needed assistance to get to the sideline, where he was evaluated for the injury and contested an independent doctor's decision to remove him. The NFL ultimately decided not to fine Adams for his outburst.
Jamal Adams has 'much respect' for doctors
Adams apologized for his actions in a statement on social media, admitting he was in the wrong and the doctor made the correct decision in keeping him out of the game on Oct. 2.
"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," Adams said. "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 players' health is essential. Much respect to you!"
