The Facts: The NFL is weighing possible discipline against Adams for shoving a credentialed photographer on the way to the visitors tunnel after the Raiders' loss to the Chiefs last Monday, with the photographer falling on the ground afterwards. Adams could be fined, suspended or both. Adams' status won't be resolved in the near future, sources informed of the situation tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, which indicates Adams will stay on the field moving forward for Las Vegas this season, at least until his legal situation has reached its conclusion.
Diehards Line:The league generally acts quickly for on-field infractions to make clear a player's status for the next game, ruling on suspensions by Wednesday morning of a game week. Las Vegas is on a bye this week. Adams' situation, however, won't play out immediately, in part to a legal developmental that came on Wednesday when he was charged with a city ordinance violation of assault, according to a Kansas City (Missouri) Municipal Court public information officer. Because Adams was criminally charged, his case is now considered a potential personal-conduct policy violation, which warrants a league investigation. However, if the case is resolved in any way -- legal charges are dropped, Adams pleads guilty, or any other outcome that concludes this situation -- a resolution would come quicker, sources informed of the situation tell Rapoport. A court date was set for Thursday, Nov. 10.
