RAIDERS' DAVANTE ADAMS MAY FACE SUSPENSION FOR POSTGAME SHOVE: REPORT

Adams apologized to the individual on Twitter and in his press conference following the game. 

"Before I say anything, I want to apologize to the guy running off the field, and he ran and jumped in front of me," Adams said. "I'm coming off the field and I bumped into him and pushed him. I think he ended up on the ground, so I want to say sorry to him 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."
