The Seattle Seahawks celebrated the return of Jamal Adams Monday night after he missed 20 games with a quadriceps tear.
The party didn't last long. Adams left the field on the first possession of the game after taking an incidental knee to the helmet while tackling New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones. He was quickly ruled out after being evaluated for a concussion.
The injury took place as Jones scrambled in an effort to pick up a first down. Adams dove for the tackle, and Jones' knee made direct contact with Adams' helmet.
Here’s the hit #seahawks safety Jamal Adams suffered.

Daniel Jones appears to accidentally knee his head on the way down.
Prayers up for the talented safety, as he could provide a huge piece in a win vs the Giants

Adams remained down on the turf for a few moments and was visibly shaken once he stood up. He left for the sideline medical tent, where he was evaluated for a concussion. He was upset after leaving the tent, apparently angry about being ruled out for the game.

He then walked off the field to the locker room shortly before the Seahawks announced that he was ruled out for the game.
