Las Vegas Raiders receiver Davante Adams faces possible suspension after pushing a sideline employee onto the field immediately after Monday’s loss in Kansas City.
Adams, the NFL’s second-highest-paid receiver with $28.2 million for the 2022 season, stormed off the field Monday night after the Raiders’ final drive failed, giving the Chiefs a dramatic 30-29 win. As the visibly frustrated Adams approached the tunnel, an unidentified man with production equipment crossed paths with the All-Pro.
It was then that Adams gave the man a shove and watched as he stumbled backwards to the ground. Security eventually helped the man to his feet when Adams casually walked into the Arrowhead Stadium tunnel.
The league is now reviewing the situation and suspension remains a possibility, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Pelissero’s colleague, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, suggested that “this one feels like more than a fine.”
The NFL is expected to rule on the matter early this week.
A league spokesperson did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com’s request for comment. DailyMail.com also contacted the Chiefs to find out the identity and occupation of the man who was pushed, but that message was not immediately returned.

Adams apologized to the media after the game.
“He jumped ahead of me when he came off the field,” Adams said. “I pushed him a little bit. He landed on the ground. I want to apologize to him for that. That was just frustration mixed with him really just running ahead of me.
“I shouldn’t have reacted that way, but that’s how I reacted. I want to apologize to him for that.’
Adams also apologized on Twitter.
“Sorry for the man I knocked over after the game,” he tweeted. “Obviously very frustrated with the way the game ended and when he ran in front of me when I left, that was my reaction and I immediately felt terrible. I’m not..MY APOLOGIES man, I hope you see this.’
A longtime Green Bay Packers star and favorite target of Aaron Rodgers, Adams has never had any serious problems in the NFL.
Adams was brought to Las Vegas in March, reunited with his college quarterback, Derek Carr, and signed a $141.2 million five-year deal with the Raiders.
The two-time All-Pro has 29 receptions and five touchdowns in five games, but the Raiders are a disappointing 1-4 on the year.
