Davante Adams charged with misdemeanor assault

Davante Adams has been charged with misdemeanor assault following Monday’s incident

Davante Adams of the Las Vegas Raiders has been cited with misdemeanor assault for knocking down an ESPN freelancer after the team’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday.

Adams was cited for an “intentional, overt act” that inflicted “bodily injury,” according to court records released Wednesday.

The freelancer working for ESPN’s Monday Night Football suffered whiplash, a headache, and a possible minor concussion from the incident, according to the citation.

The charges were filed Wednesday morning in the Municipal Court of Kansas City.

This is technically what Adams is charged with and what punishment he could face if convicted.
