Adams shoved photographer Ryan Zebley to the ground in an "intentional, overt act" that inflicted "bodily injury," while walking off the field following the team's 30-29 loss against the Chiefs, according to court documents filed by prosecutors at the time the charge was filed,
CBS Sports reported Zebley, was a freelance cameraman who was working for ESPN during "Monday Night Football." He claimed to have suffered whiplash, headaches and a possible concussion.
Adams apologized through the media and on social media following the push, which was caught on camera. He tried to reach out to the photographer on Twitter.
