Oregon quarterback Adams confirms broken finger

 

Oregon quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. confirmed that he has a broken finger and says it’s a game-time decision whether he’ll start Saturday against Georgia State.
Vernon told reporters Wednesday that he broke his finger in the season opener. It was bothering him in the Ducks’ 31-28 loss at now-No. 4 Michigan State last weekend.
Jeff Lockie, Marcus Mariota’s backup last season for the Ducks, will start against the Panthers if Adams cannot go.
Adams’ comments ended speculation that had been swirling since before the game against the Spartans. Oregon’s coaches do not discuss injuries as a policy.
Adams transferred to Oregon from Eastern Washington for his final season of eligibility.
