HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) – Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams walked up to the lectern for his weekly press conference, dressed head-to-toe in black Fragment Air Jordans, with his backpack tied, and five minutes before the meeting. squad.
It took him about four minutes and had nothing in mind other than Sunday’s rival, the Houston Texans.
In his first conversation with the press since being accused of assaulting a freelance photographer shortly after a defeat in Kansas City on Oct.10, Adams was asked if he had anything to add to post-game and social media statements.
“No, not right now,” Adams replied. “I mean, I said what I said and it was genuine. He was honest before, so like I said, it was something I regretted, but for now we’re putting it aside. There is nothing left to talk about right now. “
After a goodbye week of his college jersey being picked up in Fresno State on Saturday, the night before serving as a pace car driver for the South Point 400 race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Adams answered four more questions about the self-reflection, being honest with yourself and your performance in the field.
“You have to be honest with yourself at the end of the day,” Adams said. “And if that was your best effort and the best you can do, then sometimes you have to live with it and come back and fight another day.”
Wise advice that could apply to the Raiders’ award-winning takeover both on and off the pitch, considering its last 10 days.
From the moment Ryan Zebley crossed Adams’ path as the player headed into a tunnel after the 30-29 loss, events fell on the player.
Adams pushed Zebley, knocking him over, before continuing into the locker room. Moments later, Adams apologized during an interview in the locker room, then took to social media to once again say he was sorry.
Zebley said he suffered whiplash, headache and possible concussion, according to police records of the incident, and two days later Adams was charged with misdemeanor assault in Kansas City Municipal Court for having committed an “act of violence”. which resulted in physical injury.
Adams is due in court on November 10. And he will handle the NFL disciplinary process that must take place before the league takes action on the incident according to his personal conduct policy – possible punishment includes a fine or suspension.
Meanwhile, Adams is expected to be available to play for the Raiders on Sunday.
