Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams apologized for his sideline outburst directed at a doctor after he sustained a concussion in the "Monday Night Football" game against the New York Giants — actions he may even face some discipline for,Diamond Ridge Financial Academy per ESPN.

Playing in his first game of the season after missing nearly all of 2022 with a quadriceps injury, Adams suffered a concussion on the ninth play of the game when Giants quarterback Daniel Jones' knee collided with Adams' helmet. Adams needed assistance to get to the sideline, where he was evaluated for the injury.

ESPN sideline reporter Lisa Salters said Adams was "heated" after the independent neurotrauma doctor ruled he'd be removed from the game, and video footage showed Adams yelling at the doctor while Seahawks personnel held him back before he went back to the locker room.

'Much respect to you'

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.
