Update:
A partial video of the incident has surfaced on social media.
Apparently this is why Jamal is being fined? Which is ridiculous tbh🫣 https://t.co/XtYhndoFAR pic.twitter.com/qESgZJAh3M

Original Story:
Seahawks safety Jamal Adams finds himself $50,000 lighter in the wallet, after he “directed verbal remarks and made inappropriate physical contact” with a sideline doctor during the Seahawks’ Week 6 game against the Bengals.
According to CBS’ Jonathan Jones, the NFL slapped the fine on Adams, citing interference with the orderly administration of the game.
An unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant was approaching Seahawks wideout Jake Bobo towards the blue medical tent for the standard concussion evaluation protocol, when Adams stepped in his way and interfered.
According to the report, there’s video evidence of the incident with the doctor that the league looked into at before they dropped the fine on Adams.
This isn’t the first time Adams has been in hot water. Just earlier in the month, on “Monday Night Football”, Adams had a shouting match with another independent doctor on the sideline when he was undergoing a concussion evaluation, but that isn’t related to his fine from the Bengals game.

Hopefully Jamal Adams learns to control his emotions better going forward.
