TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) --- Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman Isaiah Adams was
arrested in Canada recently on four weapons charges.
Adams, 25, was charged with possession of a firearm obtained in a crime,
possession of a restricted/prohibited firearm, no license while in possession
of a loaded firearm and possessing a prohibited device, according to an online
release from the Durham Regional Police Service in Ontario.
Adams was one of four people arrested.
"Isaiah is completely innocent in this matter," Adams' attorney Adam Weisberg
said in a statement. "He had no knowledge of any firearm, and he will be fully
exonerated."
The report says that on Friday, police concluded an investigation into a male
believed to be in possession of a firearm and involved in drug trafficking. Two
of the other people arrested were charged with possession of fentanyl with
intent to distribute.
The Cardinals are scheduled to have their first practice of training camp on
Thursday. A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that
Adams was expected to be in camp Thursday. The person spoke on condition of
anonymity because the team is not commenting on the details of Adams' situation.
"We are aware of the situation involving Isaiah Adams," the Cardinals said in a
statement. "Out of respect for the process, we will refrain from commenting
further at this time."
Adams --- who was born in Ajax, Ontario --- is a third-year player for the
Cardinals and in the mix for a starting job. He was a third-round pick out of
Illinois in 2024.
