EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday night's game against the New York Giants after being evaluated for a concussion in the first quarter.
Adams' much-anticipated return from the torn quad tendon he suffered in last season's opener lasted all of nine plays. On the game's opening possession, he took a knee to his helmet while trying to bring down a scrambling Daniel Jones.
Adams stayed down on the field for a moment, then appeared wobbly while trying to stand up. He continued to appear unstable as he walked off the field with the help of a team staffer on each side of him.
A few minutes later, during a wild scene on the Seahawks' sideline, Adams emerged from the medical tent and became livid, yelling at one of the NFL's unaffiliated neurotrauma consultants (UNCs) while being held back by the team's head athletic trainer and two members of the Seahawks' security staff.
