After his Aug. 30 arrest by campus police, Adams was suspended indefinitely by the ninth-ranked Bruins and missed the team's first two games, both victories. UCLA football spokesman Josh Rupprecht said Monday that the team has no new comment on the developments.

Adams, a redshirt junior, started every game the previous two seasons for the Bruins, making the All-Pac-12 team last season.
