Davante Adams shoves cameraman and apologises
A little later, Adams was already apologising for his inappropriate action.
“Before I say anything, I want to apologise to the man who ran off the field and jumped in front of me,” the longtime Packers receiver said at the press conference. “I come off the field and I collided with him and pushed him. I think he landed on the ground, so I want to apologise to him. It was just frustration mixed with the fact that he was running in front of me. I shouldn’t have reacted like that, but I did. I want to apologise to him for that. “
A little later, a public apology also followed via Twitter.
Sorry to the guy I pushed over after the game. Obviously very frustrated at the way the game ended and when he ran infront of me as I exited that was my reaction and I felt horrible immediately. Thats not me..MY APOLOGIES man hope you see this.

Adams had actually put in a strong performance in the loss to the Chiefs. The 29-year-old caught two touchdown passes for 58 and 48 yards. Bitter: A failed fourth attempt, in which he collided with fellow receiver Hunter Renfrow, ended the game.
Adams even faces suspension
As NFL insider Tom Pelissero now reports, the receiver is facing serious consequences. Even a suspension is said to be on the cards.
According to the report, the NFL is reviewing the incident and will decide on the extent of the punishment in the coming days. It is unlikely that Adams will get off with a fine because of his apologies.
Cameraman reports Adams!
Things may get even tougher for Adams. As “TMZ Sports” reports, the cameraman pushed by the Raiders player has officially filed charges against the superstar. He was also taken to hospital with “non-life threatening injuries”.
As “TMZ Sports” has learned from the authorities, the man claims to have been the victim of an assault. According to the report, police are already investigating the incident and will subsequently coordinate with the state attorney’s office to decide on possible charges.
