Adams was cited for an “intentional, overt act” that inflicted “bodily injury,” according to court records released Wednesday.
The freelancer working for ESPN’s Monday Night Football suffered whiplash, a headache, and a possible minor concussion from the incident, according to the citation.
The charges were filed Wednesday morning in the Municipal Court of Kansas City.
This is technically what Adams is charged with and what punishment he could face if convicted.
Point of clarity on #Raiders WR Davante Adams: He has been charged with a city ordinance violation, which is a little lower than a state misdemeanor assault charge, per the prosecutor's office. It carries a fine of $250 to $1K or up to 180 days in jail or both.
