Adams received a blow to the head early in the first drive of Monday’s game, prompting his removal for a concussion evaluation. He did not return to the game and was observed needing to be restrained during the evaluation by the league’s concussion specialist.

According to a report by ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Wednesday, the league is contemplating taking disciplinary measures against Adams.

NFL is considering discipline against Seahawks’ Jamal Adams for his actions toward the independent concussion doctor appointed by the NFL and NFLPA following his concussion sideline evaluation in Monday night’s game.

It’s worth noting that Adams was making his return to the game after a 13-month absence due to injury. While his frustration was understandable, the league would not condone any aggression towards a doctor simply doing their job.

The Seahawks have a bye in Week 5, providing Adams with an additional week to recover before the team’s next game.
