All four were held for bail hearings. None of the allegations have been proven in court
Adams’ lawyer, Adam Weisberg, denied the allegations
“Isaiah is completely innocent in this matter,” Weisberg told The Associated Press. “He had no knowledge of any firearm, and he will be fully exonerated.”
Adams, an Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman, reported to the team’s training camp Thursday
Asked about the Ajax, Ont., native, head coach for the Arizona Cardinals Mike LaFleur declined to discuss the case but said Adams appeared to be doing well
“He’s doing good,” LaFleur said. “I’m not going to comment too much on that, obviously … but he’s doing good and it’s good to see him.”
Global News contacted the Cardinals for comment before publication but did not receive a response by deadline
