Davante Adams shoved a photographer to the ground out of frustration after the Las Vegas Raiders’ loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football. Now, he could be facing some consequences.
Not only could Adams face punishment for his league, but the photographer who was pushed has filed a police report against the star wide receiver.
According to TMZ Sports, the photographer is claiming injuries in the report which was filed shortly after the game ended. He also claimed he had to go to the hospital after the incident which he described as an “assault.” Cops have said that they are investigating the incident and “will coordinate with the applicable city or state prosecutor to determine any applicable charges.”

After the game, Adams apologized for the incident.
“I want to apologize to the guy,” Adams said. “There was some guy running off the field, and he ran, like, jumped in front of me coming off the field and I bumped into him, kind of pushed him, and he ended up on the ground.
“So I wanted to say sorry to him for that because that was just frustration mixed with him literally just running in front of me. I shouldn’t have responded that way, but that’s how I initially responded. So, I want to apologize to him for that.”

We will have to wait and see what, if any, punishment Adams faces for his actions.
The Raiders will observe their bye week in Week 6 before returning to action on Sunday, October 23 against the Houston Texans at Allegiant Stadium.
