On Saturday, Kalen DeBoer mentioned Cole Adams' injury. However, the coach didn’t specify the wide receiver’s status.

“He just had an arm injury. I would say we’ll have to see exactly where that’s at. Just the extent of that. I didn’t necessarily see, and, I didn’t realize it was his arm until he got up. I thought it was something lower leg. But we’ll see where he’s at throughout the week.”

DeBoer held a press conference on Monday and updated the media about Adams' injury. The coach explained the situation and said he expects a quick return from his wideout.

“Cole Adams has an upper extremity injury. We'll see how he goes through the week. We won't rule him out, but he'll probably be very limited early, and we'll see how it goes throughout the week.”
