Anybody else wondering what the deal is with him? Seems like little info on the injury and then its, he's out but will be back soon.

I've been wondering that since May. Would be nice if we got an injury update on him.

This seems to be the way this administration deals with injury business. Every one is day to day and probable with an upper / lower body injury till they have surgery and are out long term.

Here's the injury update on Adams - he's unavailable for this game. That's really all we need to know. Our 'need' to know is what? Based only on curiosity? What purpose is there to know if a player has lower body function problems or rotating cuffs? 

Just be glad when they're  declared "ready to go".

It'd be nice to know if there is a possibility of him starting next week or if this is an injury that will take some time.

It's far from "this administration". Most franchises in pro sports, football and hockey especially are like this.

 maybe your right and its this era in the cfl. The nhl first for sure. But the nfl and mlb for certain still release the specifics. Could be that the low/upper body injury and day to day till other wise is the future. But before this group running the bombers it wasnt like that. 

 personally it doesnt bother me if they go upper/lower or if day to day is week to week. So long as it isnt out of the blue that persons gone for half the season. Course the path to recovery isnt allways clear, some times decisions have to be made second opinions gotten etc. That type of thing is understandable.

I'm not sure if saying he's day to day really means much anymore.  It  now has a range of maybe tomorrow or 6 game. Further, I don't think it really fools the opposing coaches. They have their own sources.

However, not knowing what the injury is does not bother me at all.

Actually, not passing information along to the fans has an effect. Some fans want to know so that they can empathize, sympathize, or relate more to the players. Keeping these details at arms length makes the experience more impersonal for some. Also, this is entertainment, and just as is the case with Hollywood, the public wants to know details of the lives of their stars and heroes. For the athletes, that goes with the territory of the job in pro sports.
