Davante Adams is being threatened with jail time in his upcoming legal case.
Earlier this week, a frustrated Adams was seen shoving a cameraman while walking off the field after the Raiders’ loss to the Chiefs.
The cameraman filed a police report against Adams, citing a possible concussion, among other injuries, and Adams was officially charged with misdemeanor assault.

According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Adams faces up to 180 days in jail if convicted.
Point of clarity on #Raiders WR Davante Adams: He has been charged with a city ordinance violation, which is a little lower than a state misdemeanor assault charge, per the prosecutor's office. It carries a fine of $250 to $1K or up to 180 days in jail or both.
