Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams is the latest player to receive a fine in the mail.
According to Jonathan Jones of CBS, the NFL has fined Adams $50,000 for “inappropriate physical contact” and verbal remarks made toward a sideline doctor during the Seahawks’ Week 6 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Adams was being examined for a concussion by an independent doctor.
“NFL fined Seahawks S Jamal Adams $50,000 this week,” Jones wrote on Twitter. “He ‘directed verbal remarks and made inappropriate physical contact’ with an independent doctor during a concussion evaluation of a teammate Sunday vs. the Bengals.”
The NFL reportedly has video evidence of the incident.
It comes after an incident with Adams shown on national television on October 2 where he could be seen berating someone on the sideline during the Monday Night Football broadcast before being taken to the locker room.
