Raiders' Adams pushes photographer to ground after MNF loss
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams shoved a photographer to the ground on his way to the locker room following the team's 30-29 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night.
Adams apologized for the incident when speaking to reporters postgame.
"That was just frustration mixed with him literally just running in front of me. (I) shouldn't have responded that way," Adams said. He added, "I want to apologize to him for that."
He later tweeted an apology to the staffer.
Adams is facing NFL discipline for the incident and could even be suspended, sources told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
The photographer filed a police report against the wideout, alleging assault, according to Tom Pelisssero of NFL Network.
The 29-year-old Adams had a late third-down reception ruled incomplete after a review determined he did not keep his feet inbounds with possession of the ball. A clean catch would have potentially put the Raiders in position for a game-winning field goal.
Adams collided with fellow receiver Hunter Renfrow on the subsequent fourth-down play, leading to Derek Carr's pass falling incomplete and the Chiefs effectively sealing the win. Adams threw his helmet as he returned to the sideline.
He finished the night with two touchdowns and 124 yards on three receptions.
