Week 5 turned out to be quite dramatic for Davante Adams, who lost a close knock against Kansas City and, above all, got involved in an incident that may cost him his upcoming game. The veteran wideout shoved a photographer on his way back to the locker room, who was taken to the hospital later on. It turns out he was a student and has now responded to the situation.

After getting shoved by Adams, he instantly fell to the ground. The other security guard, who was standing next to him, helped him get on his feet. Subsequently, he was taken to the hospital complaining about whiplash, a headache, and a possible minor concussion.

The guy turned out to be a college student working as a freelancer for ESPN for Monday Night Football. He filed a police report regarding this incident and came forward with his response through his attorney. However, didn’t wish to reveal his identity.

“What happened was egregiously unsportsmanlike and an act of violence that should not be excused by the NFL,” said Dan Curry with the Brown & Curry Law Firm. Moreover, it was his first day on the job, which became tedious by the end of the day. The firm also reported that they were reviewing the case at a much deeper level and would evaluate other legalities.

However, all these attempts went in vain as the Raiders trailed by just one point in the end. Adams slammed his helmet on the turf and walked into the tunnel. That’s when the kid bumped into his path holding camera equipment. The wideout instantly shoved him with two hands.

“Before I answer anything, I want to apologize to the guy, some guy running off the field. He ran and jumped in front of me coming off the field and I bumped into him, and kind of pushed him, and I think he ended up on the ground, so I want to say sorry to him for that,” the Raiders receiver said inside the locker room. However, this seems to go south, as the NFL insiders hint at a possible one-game suspension or a hefty fine for his behavior.
