The Raiders lost 30-29 to Kansas City in Week 5. It was a close knock, with Adams playing a crucial role in bringing the game that far and in the end, it was a defeat for Derek Carr and Co.

He was clearly disappointed and couldn’t control his emotions while walking back to the locker room. He was escorted by the security staff and that’s when suddenly a cameraman crossed his path. The five-time Pro Bowler shoved him with both hands leading the other guy to fall to the ground.

Other staff members, surrounding him, went out to help the guy, and after taking a brief pause, Adams walked into the tunnel. This shot was captured by the media and instantly started taking rounds on the internet.

Per the recent reports by an NFL insider, Tom Pelissero, the league is reviewing the situation and will declare the outcome of their analysis. He might have to undergo a disciplinary punishment which will be revealed soon.

Evidently, after exhibiting rash behavior off the field, Adams reacted to reaching the locker room by apologizing to the man. “He ran and jumped in front of me coming off the field, and I bumped into him and kind of pushed him, and he ended up on the ground,” Adams told reporters.

“So I want to say sorry to him for that because that was just frustration mixed with him literally just running in front of me. I shouldn’t have responded that way, but that’s how I initially responded, so I want to apologize to him for that,” he added.
