Las Vegas Raiders star Davante Adams faced serious scrutiny on Monday when he shoved a cameraman to the ground after a heartbreaking 30-29 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Now, he's been charged with misdemeanor assault for his actions, per Ian Rapoport:

As noted, the NFL is still reviewing the incident. It remains to be seen if Adams will be reprimanded by the league. A one-game suspension is definitely possible.
To be honest, it's actually quite a surprise he's been charged at all. While it was a very senseless act from the Raiders wideout, it's not like he shoved the cameraman aggressively or anything. Nonetheless, it should have never happened in the first place.
Davante Adams had a field day for Las Vegas, collecting two touchdowns on three catches for 124 yards. The Raiders had a chance to win the game but failed with their two-point conversion, which is why Adams was obviously so upset. But, head coach Josh McDaniels didn't question his decision to go for it:
“I felt like in that situation, they had a lot of momentum offensively in the second half,” McDaniels said, via the official transcript. “We had a play that we felt really good about. I thought we would get a look that would give us a shot at it for sure.
Back to Adams. Twitter roasted the wideout for pushing the cameraman, which is no surprise. It was just a mistake from Adams that he'll certainly learn from, especially after the charges, although they're minimal.
What's also interesting is the report actually released Davante Adams' address. That doesn't seem like a smart thing to do, especially in 2022.
