Davante Adams cited with misdemeanor assault charge after shoving photographer

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams is scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 10 after pushing a photographer on the way to the tunnel after a Monday Night Football loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The citation Adams received, filed in Kansas City Municipal Court, lists the charge as misdemeanor assault for an "intentional, overt act" that inflicted "bodily injury."

The record also lists that the photographer, identified by police as Ryan Zebley, sustained injuries including whiplash, headache, and possible minor concussion.

The charge comes as a city ordinance violation, which is reportedly lower than a state misdemeanor assault charge.
