TEMPE — Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman Isaiah Adams turned himself in to the Durham Regional Police on Sunday, July 19, near Toronto. Adams is facing gun charges in Canada that include four specific counts related to firearms.

The charges against Adams consist of possessing a weapon by crime, possessing a restricted or prohibited firearm without a license, possessing a loaded firearm, and possessing a prohibited device. These allegations stem from an investigation that involved a search warrant at a residence in Pickering, Ont., where authorities found a loaded firearm linked to a theft in Georgia.

Adam Weisberg, an attorney for Adams, issued a statement regarding the case. "Isaiah is completely innocent in this matter – he had no knowledge of any firearm, and he will be fully exonerated," Weisberg said. The legal proceedings also involve Adams' 27-year-old sister, Allyson Mae Adams, who is facing the same gun charges as him, including possession of a firearm obtained by crime and possession of a prohibited device.

Despite the legal situation in Canada, Adams is scheduled to continue his professional obligations with the Cardinals. He will report to Cardinals training camp on Wednesday, July 22, in Tempe. Adams turned 26 on Tuesday, July 21, just one day before his required reporting date for the team's preseason preparations.

The Cardinals selected Adams with a third-round pick out of Illinois in 2024. He has started 16 games in two seasons, including 11 starts last year. Adams is a projected starter at right guard for the 2026 season, positioning him as a key component of the offensive line for the upcoming campaign. His presence in camp will be closely monitored as he navigates the legal proceedings while preparing for the NFL season.

The investigation into the firearms charges occurred while Adams was on the negotiation list of the Edmonton Elks of the CFL. The Elks placed Adams on their list in July 2026, despite him being an NFL draft pick, as part of the league's process for players with NFL interests. This procedural move by the Canadian Football League team happened concurrently with the legal developments in Ontario.

The sports landscape in Toronto during this period included Major League Baseball games between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Toronto Blue Jays. The Blue Jays lost to the Rays 12-2 and 7-1 in completed games, while a scheduled game ended in a 0-0 tally. These sporting events took place in the same city where Adams surrendered to police, though the baseball games were unrelated to the criminal charges filed against the NFL player.

Jacoby Brissett will make $4.88 million this season with only $1.5 million guaranteed, a financial detail relevant to the Cardinals' roster construction as Adams prepares to take his spot on the line. The team's salary cap management and roster decisions will proceed as Adams works to clear his name and maintain his standing as a projected starter. The legal process in Canada will continue as Adams balances his NFL commitments with the requirement to address the charges filed by the Durham Regional Police.
