NFL star Davante Adams was cited for assault after he shoved a photographer to the ground after Mondayā€™s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The 29-year-old Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver was cited for the ā€œintentionalā€ push that caused ā€œbodily injury,ā€ according to court documents released Wednesday. The photographer, Ryan Zebley, reportedly suffered whiplash and a minor concussion in the aftermath of the shove. Adams has since offered an apology, saying ā€œI wanted to say sorry to him for that because that was just frustration mixed with him literally just running in front of me.ā€ He added, ā€œI shouldnā€™t have responded that way, but thatā€™s how I initially responded. So I apologize for that.ā€ Adams has a court date set for November and the incident is being investigated by the NFL.
