The crew member shoved by Davante Adams has retained a personal injury attorney.
Park Zebley, a 20-year-old student at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, is being represented by Dan Curry of the law firm Brown & Curry. Dan Curry said the student was simply carrying equipment for a camera operator on his “first day on the job.”
“What happened was egregiously unsportsmanlike and an act of violence that should not be excused by the NFL.”
Curry said his firm is continuing to investigate the incident and “evaluate his legal options.”
Curry said Zebley is still receiving medical treatment and the “full extent hasn’t been established” but that he “suffered some concussion symptoms. He was nauseous immediately after the incident and he has some pain that he’s still dealing with today.”
Adams, who joined the Raiders this offseason from the Packers in a trade, was charged with misdemeanor assault Wednesday morning. The shove came after Adams and Hunter Renfrow got tangled up on the final play of a 30-29 Raiders loss to the Chiefs.
Asked why the act constituted assault of his client, the attorney said, “From his perspective, he was violently pushed to the ground, and that’s an assault.”
