B.C. Lions without starting DB Jalon Edwards-Cooper against Ticats
By 3Down Staff -July 26, 2025

The B.C. Lions will be missing one of their starting defensive backs when they take on the league's hottest passing attack on Sunday.

Boundary halfback Jalon Edwards-Cooper has been placed on the one-game injured list after being limited in practice this week by a knee injury. The 28-year-old, who is in his fifth season with the Lions, has played all seven games for the team this year, recording 15 defensive tackles.

Rookie American Travian Blaylock will make his CFL debut in that vacant starting role, a notable achievement given that he only started two games during his collegiate career at Wisconsin. The five-foot-11, 197-pound DB returned to the team earlier this month after originally being cut in training camp.

The Lions will get a boost to their pass rush this week, as defensive tackle DeWayne Hendrix returns from a thigh injury. In four games to start the year, the veteran offseason addition recorded nine defensive tackles and three sacks. Tomasi Laulile, who made four tackles in three games as his replacement, will go to the one-game injured list due to a knee issue.

One change not made due to injury comes on the offensive line, where former first-round CFL Draft pick Anu Una has been benched in favour of rookie American Ilm Manning at right guard. B.C. will once again be starting just one Canadian along the offensive line for this game, centre Michael Couture.

The B.C. Lions (3-4) will host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (4-2) at BC Place Stadium on Sunday, July 27 with kickoff slated for 7:00 p.m. EDT. The Tiger-Cats are coming off a one-sided win over the Ottawa Redblacks, while the Lions are coming off a 33-27 home loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

The game will be broadcast on TSN in Canada and CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune-in on the Ticats Audio Network in Hamilton and 730 CKNW in Vancouver.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats place DL TyJuan Garbutt on six-game injured list
By 3Down Staff -July 26, 2025

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have lost one of their starting defensive ends long-term ahead of their matchup with the B.C. Lions.

TyJuan Garbutt has been placed on the six-game injured list after suffering a knee injury last week. The 26-year-old has appeared in every game for the Ticats this year, recording nine defensive tackles, one sack, and one forced fumble.

The Virginia Tech product signed with Hamilton in free agency after spending the last two seasons with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, compiling 20 defensive tackles, three sacks, a forced fumble and a defensive touchdown in 13 games. He will be replaced by rookie American edge rusher Philip Ossai, who is making his first career start.

Also out this week is starting left tackle Jordan Murray, who has been placed on the one-game injured list with a knee issue. Brendan Bordner, who started 16 games as a rookie last season, will step in after missing the past two games as a healthy scratch. Fullback and short-yardage specialist Ante Milanovic-Litre (hamstring) will also miss time, with Canadian linebacker Daniel Kwamou dressing for ratio reasons.

Returning to the field is starting running back Greg Bell, who has been in and out of the lineup with a rib issue. He has carried the ball 24 times for 108 yards and one touchdown in three games this year, adding 15 receptions for 95 yards through the air. Backup Treshaun Ward, who scored his first career touchdown last week, has been returned to the practice roster.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats (4-2) will visit the B.C. Lions (3-4) at BC Place Stadium on Sunday, July 27 with kickoff slated for 7:00 p.m. EDT. The Tiger-Cats are coming off a one-sided win over the Ottawa Redblacks, while the Lions are coming off a 33-27 home loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

The game will be broadcast on TSN in Canada and CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune-in on the Ticats Audio Network in Hamilton and 730 CKNW in Vancouver.

Go Hammy Go

[TecnoGenius]

You bet guys!  A strong HAMmy only makes our possible GC appearance that much easier.  They are making hay while the MTL TOR no-qb situation shines.  Good for them.

Yep. That catch is insane. How is he not a receiver with hands like that?

[J5V]

BC getting a lot of help from the officials on this drive. That's lead to a FG followed by a TD  after a Hammy fumble. BC suddenly up 10 points. Bombers will be feeling the Lions coming for their playoff spot.

might be it - darn Bell
