Las Vegas Raiders receiver Davante Adams is facing a possible suspension after shoving a sideline worker to the turf immediately following Monday’s loss in Kansas City.
Adams, the NFL’s second-highest paid receiver at $28.2 million for the 2022 season, was storming off the field on Monday night after the Raiders’ final drive fell short, giving the Chiefs a dramatic 30-29 win. As the visibly frustrated Adams approached the tunnel, an unidentified man holding production equipment crossed the All-Pro’s path.
It was then that 6-foot-1, 215-pound Adams shoved the man and watched as he stumbled backwards down to the ground. Security ultimately helped the man to his feet as Adams casually walked into the Arrowhead Stadium tunnel.
The league is now reviewing the situation, and a suspension remains a possibility, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Pelissero’s colleague, NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, suggested that ‘this one feels like more than a fine.’
The NFL is expected to rule on the matter early this week.
A league spokesman has not responded to DailyMail.com’s request for comment. Likewise, spokespeople for the Chiefs and Raiders have not responded to inquiries about the identity and occupation of the man who was shoved by Adams.
