Representatives for Davante Adams are optimistic the star wide receiver won’t receive a “major suspension” from the NFL in connection to when he shoved a photographer at Arrowhead Stadium.
Prosecutors dropped the misdemeanor assault charge against Adams, bringing the case to a close. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported Sunday on SportsCenter that the wideout’s camp believes that decision could take a long suspension off the table:
Fowler added that Adams is “preparing for the season as he normally would” and “getting a lot of mental reps with Jimmy Garoppolo.”
The Raiders fell 30-29 to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 5 of the 2022 season. Adams was on his way to the locker room after the game when he shoved Park Zebley to the ground.
In May, Zebley filed a civil lawsuit against Adams and multiple other parties, alleging he suffered concussion-like symptoms and feared for his life. Dan Curry, Zebley’s attorney, also told USA Today‘s Safid Deen that the 20-year-old was the subject of “hateful” comments online that prompted him to temporarily move.
