That only adds another degree of difficulty for Chris Petersen and the Huskies, who will need to take on a staunch Auburn defense in what is essentially an away game, now without their best offensive linemen.

This will not be the first time Adams has missed time with an injury, either: He missed the last five games of the 2017 season with a torn ACL.
