Davante Adams Charged With Assault - Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams was charged with misdemeanor assault Wednesday after he shoved a man on the sidelines moments after his team's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The assault allegation, filed in Kansas City Municipal Court, accuses Adams of pushing photographer Ryan Zebley, thereby "causing whiplash and headache" and a "possible minor concussion," according to the police report.

Zebley fell back onto the lawn clutching a huge camera mount and other gear. He was quickly helped by someone standing nearby.

Violation of the city ordinance can result in a fine of $250 to $1,000, up to 180 days in jail or both. But if Adams had no prior criminal record, time behind bars would have been unlikely, a spokesman for the city prosecutor's office said.

Adams apologized but also showed that the person who pushed took responsibility. He said that the man "ran or jumped in front of me" and "I bumped into him and kind of pushed him, and he fell to the ground."

He is scheduled to make a virtual court appearance on November. 14, a day after the Raiders hosted the Indianapolis Colts.

Monday's AFC West contest was carried by ESPN, which identified the victim as a freelancer who worked on the "Monday Night Football" crew.
