The NFL has decided not to discipline Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams for his actions toward the independent concussion doctor appointed by the league and the players' association following his sideline evaluation during Monday night's game against the New York Giants, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Friday.
The NFL came to the decision after reviewing the incident and seeing Adams' apology this week. Adams, who was making his season debut, was injured on the ninth play of the game when he took a knee to his helmet while trying to bring down a scrambling Daniel Jones.
He stayed down on the field for a moment, then appeared wobbly while trying to stand up. Adams continued to appear unstable as he walked off the field with the help of a team staffer on each side.
A few minutes later, during a wild scene on the Seahawks' sideline, Adams emerged from the medical tent and became livid, yelling at the doctor while being held back by the team's head athletic trainer and two members of the Seahawks' security staff.
