On Sunday, for the second time this season, he was hit with a blatantly dirty shot to the helmet, which knocked him out of a game and put his health in danger.
On Monday, Adams lashed out:
I’ll never understand it. Game is already dangerous enough and we got Pro Bowl players out here head hunting and saying they “didn’t mean to harm me”

After he was hospitalized following a hit against the Chicago Bears earlier in the season, Adams was the recipient of a nasty helmet-to-helmet blindside block on an interception return during the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Understandably frustrated, Adams was shown giving the finger to fans has he was helped to the locker room.

Adams returned to the field 10 days after taking the shot against the Bears to score the game-winner against the Dallas Cowboys earlier this season.
Hopefully, he recovers after this nasty shot.
