Word of an index-finger injury for Oregon quarterback Vernon Adams prior to the Ducks' lo s to Michigan State on Saturday. A new report Tuesday reveals the severity of the injury.Adams is dealing with a broken index finger Maxx Crosby Jersey on his throwing (right) hand, , and the injury is expected to bother him for several weeks.He suffered the injury in Tim Brown Jersey the season opener, per the report.On a huge stage against the then No. 5 Spartans on Saturday, Adams completed 22 of 39 pa ses for 309 yards and a touchdown. However, he also threw two interceptions and mi sed a wide open Byron Marshall on a potential touchdown pa s late in the game.Adams has not used the injury as an excuse, downplaying its role in his performance, but Oregon offensive coordinator Scott Frost said on Monday that the QB was not 100 percent for Saturday's game."I feel bad for Vernon," . "We don't talk about injuries around here, but he wasn't at his best in that Dave Casper Jersey game. That's not an excuse; you won't find one game in college football where there isn't someone that's partially hurt. But that was a big stage for him to be on and not be full-speed, and I thought he performed pretty well."Adams is in his first year with Charles Woodson Jersey the Ducks after transferring from Eastern Washington, and beat out Jeff Lockie for the starting job in fall camp. Clearly, Oregon coach Mark Helfrich thinks Adams is the team's best option at quarterback, even when he's not fully healthy, which gives us a strong indication of how much separation there Marcel Reece Jersey is between Adams and Lockie at the moment.Follow College Football 24/7 on Twitter __.
