Kansas City police have publicly identified the freelancer who was shoved over by Davante Adams on the sideline of Arrowhead Stadium on Monday night. <\/p>\n
Ryan Zebley, a freelance photographer and cameraperson, was working for ESPN’s Monday Night Football crew during the Raiders-Chiefs game when he was pushed over by the frustrated Adams and ultimately hospitalized. Zebley filed a complaint Tuesday, alleging that he suffered whiplash, a headache, and possibly a minor concussion as a result of his fall. <\/p>\n
Adams was cited for misdemeanor assault on Wednesday over the incident, a police spokesman told DailyMail.com. Misdemeanor assault in Missouri can be punished with imprisonment for up to 15 days and a fine of up to $750. <\/span><\/p>\n Zebley had not been identified until Wednesday, when the police released the charges against Adams. <\/p>\n 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, Zebley crossed the All-Pro’s path.<\/p>\n It was then that 6-foot-1, 215-pound Adams shoved Zebley and watched as he stumbled backwards and down to the ground. Security ultimately helped Zebley to his feet as Adams casually walked into the Arrowhead Stadium tunnel.<\/p>\n Footage of the incident does not clearly show Zebley, but he appears to be seen in the background of other photographs from the game, including one of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce celebrating a touchdown. <\/p>\n
