Vernon Adams played against Michigan State with a broken right index finger, a source told ESPN's Brett McMurphy. The No. 12 Ducks lost 31-28 and Adams threw a pair of interceptions. It's unclear how much time Adams will miss.
 
I heard he took his math test twice before he passed it, that takes a lot of work from the digits.
 
Let's review shall we...

EWU QB leaves for UO
UO plays EWU for the first game of the year
EWU is pissy
EWU gives said QB a concussion and broken index finger on his throwing hand
QB will probably never be the same this season.

I swear, you just can't make this shit up.

Naw, it was broke during the EWU game. The announcers talked about the tape he had on it under the glove. They also talked about the affect it was having on his throws.

I remember reading some chatter prior to that game that he was wearing some sort of protective glove. Maybe it was already broken?

This item from ESPN says he broke it against EWU, re-injured it in the MSU game:
Oregon quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. confirmed Wednesday that he broke his finger against Eastern Washington and reinjured it against Michigan State.

Adams spoke with the media after practice on Wednesday and called himself a "game-time decision" for Saturday's game against Georgia State.

The Ducks released a depth chart Tuesday night that listed Adams as the starter for Oregon's game against Georgia State this Saturday, though he is currently splitting reps at the starting position with Jeff Lockie.

"I can definitely play with it throughout the season because I played in it the last game," Adams told reporters, according to the Register-Guard. "I've got to keep rehabbing it, icing it and make sure the swelling is going down. Hopefully, it gets to 100 percent as soon as possible."

Oregon doesn't officially comment on any kind of player injury or health issue, but Adams seems to be fine talking about his health with the media.

On Tuesday, Oregon coach Mark Helfrich was asked about Adams' injury and said: "We don't really talk about those kind of player-availability kind of things other than the best guy for us is going to be out there playing. ... Like everybody is less than 100 percent at some point in the season."

The Ducks kick off at 2 p.m. ET against Georgia State on Saturday.

I vaguely remember something during the OU-EWU game (did not watch a lot of it): Seems to me he may have hit, or been hit, on the hand by a helmet. (But that may have been from another game we were watching. :roll: )

Good god, why would he play against Georgia State? Give the finger 2 weeks rest and move on.

Agree totally. He's already proved his guts, and shown his leadership ability, to the team. At most, one series.

FWIW: I've never particularly liked VA ... based on his "persona" in interviews on TV and in print. But the young man can play, and we should respect his attempt to better his life prospects. Even if the Oregon try does not get him drafted by the NFL, it will look good in any sports-related resume.

Besides, since I despise the NCAA and it's often-nonsensical rules (and "uneven" -- to put it mildly -- application thereof), I kinda like a guy taking advantage of those rules, as Adams has done.
