"Getting a player of Vernon's calibre provides a big boost to our offence as we continue pushing for a return to the playoffs," said Lions co-general manager Neil McEvoy.
Adams Jr. has appeared in five games this season for the Alouettes and thrown for 294 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.
The 29-year-old was placed on the six-game injured list due to tendinitis in his throwing elbow on August 3, however TSN's Farhan Lalji notes that the injury has completely healed.
Lalji reported Tuesday that Als minority owner Gary Stern blocked earlier attempts to move Adams Jr., but now that he has stepped down from day-to-day operations of the team, talks were able to pick up once again.
The Lions lost their starting quarterback Nathan Rourke to a Lisfranc sprain in his right foot that he suffered on August 19 against the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Michael O'Connor and Antonio Pipkin both saw playing time at quarterback in the Lions' 23-16 loss to the Roughriders last week.
Adams Jr. has appeared in 67 CFL contests split between the Alouettes and Roughriders, who he played 11 games for in 2017, and has thrown 43 touchdowns with 26 interceptions.
