Despite the backlash, Adams’ head coach expressed his support for the star wide receiver on Tuesday.
"I support Davante wholeheartedly as a human being," Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels said. "As a person, he's a great guy. I know that was an unfortunate situation. We obviously don't want any of our guys to be doing anything like that. He knows that. He's very well aware of that. But I know the person, I don't think there was any intent behind it, on his part.

"But whatever [the league] asks of us, whatever they need from us, obviously we'll comply. I'm not exactly sure where we're at. But we're kind of in a wait-and-see [situation] at this point."
The incident came after a disappointing 30-29 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, dropping the Raiders to 1-4 on the season.

Adams apologized in his postgame press conference and on Twitter.
"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."
