Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams was involved in his second incident with a concussion doctor this month.
The 28-year-old "directed verbal remarks and made inappropriate physical contact" with a concussion doctor in the bench area during their Week 6 loss against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, October 15.
As a result of the altercation, Adams was issued a $50,000 fine by the league.
The 2019 First Team All-Pro had a run-in with an unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant (UNC), who was preparing to assess Seahawks wide receiver Jake Bobo for a potential concussion during the third quarter of the game.
Following a 20-yard pass from Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith, Bobo was struck by Bengals' safety Dax Hill. Subsequently, Bobo was taken out of the game for an assessment but was later deemed fit to continue playing.

Second incident for Jamal Adams with a concussion doctor
In an earlier incident, the three-time Pro Bowl selection confronted a concussion doctor when he made his NFL return after recovering from a torn quadriceps on Monday, October 2, against the New York Giants.
In that case, he did not face any league-imposed punishment.
During that previous incident, the league considered Adams' apology and his explanation that his behavior was influenced by the brain injury, leading to no disciplinary action.
However, in this most recent episode, Adams' altercation was with the doctor attending to one of his teammates, removing the excuse for his actions.
