The saga continues for Davante Adams with regard to the shoving incident that occurred after Monday night’s game in Kansas City. On Tuesday, reports said the photographer who was shoved to the ground had filed a police report. On Wednesday, Adams was charged with assault.

The incident took place as Adams was leaving the field. Adams was clearly very upset about the final two plays in the game, which were both passes to him and ruled incomplete, thus ending the game with the Raiders losing to the Chiefs 30-29.
Adams was walking off the field when a photographer walked in front of him and the reaction from Adams was to shove the photographer, causing him to fall to the ground. Adams then paused for a moment before continuing to walk to the locker room.

Adams apologized shortly thereafter via a statement to the media.
Along with the criminal charge, Adams will also face potential league penalties, which could include a fine and a suspension. The Raiders have a bye this week.
