Per court documents, Adams was cited for an “intentional overact that caused “bodily injury.” Court documents also say that the cameraman, a freelancer working for ESPN’s Monday Night Football telecast, suffered a “possible minor concussion” and “whiplash.”

Adams was remorseful postgame saying, “I want to say sorry to him [cameraman] because that was just frustration mixed with him running in front of me, and I shouldn’t have responded that way, and that’s how I initially responded. I want to apologize to him for that.”

In addition to the assault charge, the 29-year-old is facing discipline from the NFL in what could involve a possible suspension. Adams’s court date is scheduled for November 10.
