Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams has posted an apology to the independent neurologist he was seen berating on the sidelines after suffering a concussion during Monday’s game against the New York Giants.
The apology was posted only hours after news broke that the NFL was considering discipling Adams for his outburst upon leaving the Seahawks medical tent on the sidelines to be further evaluated in the locker room.
‘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 wrote in a message he posted to X.
‘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 player’s health is essential.
‘Much respect to you!’ He signed off as ‘Prez,’ a nickname he often uses, as well as his X username and part of his Instagram username ‘Presidentmal.’

Adams was removed from the game for evaluation by the league’s concussion adviser after taking an accidental knee to the helmet from Giants quarterback Daniel Jones just nine defensive plays into the game.
It was Adams’ first game back since Week 1 of 2022, when he tore his quad and was sidelines for the rest of that season.
He was not happy about being removed and voiced his displeasure with the red hat, whose sole job is to identify possible concussion injuries and get those players out of the game.
Adams had two tackles before exiting.

‘He’s going to be OK,’ Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said after the game.
‘He got kicked in the head. So he misses this game. But the preparation to get him to this and with the week coming off, he’s going to be fine I’m sure and he’ll be back out there. It’s just a little glitch right now.’
The Seahawks have a bye this week and play at Cincinnati in Week 6.
