Last post by gobombersgo - October 13, 2024, 10:18:51 PMAlouettes to start QB Davis Alexander on Thanksgiving Day
By 3Down Staff -October 13, 2024
The Montreal Alouettes will roll with backup quarterback Davis Alexander for their Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Ottawa Redblacks.
Starting quarterback Cody Fajardo will be a healthy scratch after missing every practice this week following the birth of his second son. With the top seed in the East already locked up and nothing to play for, the Alouettes are affording him additional family time and activating James Morgan as their third-string QB.
Alexander has made three starts already this season, going 3-0 while also leading one come-from-behind victory off the bench. The third-year pro has completed 73-of-102 passes for 972 yards, six touchdowns, and one interception while rushing 11 times for 89 yards and a score
Aiding the young pivot will be the return of star receiver Austin Mack, who played just one game with the team following his much-anticipated return from the NFL before suffering an ankle injury in practice. In his first year with the Alouettes, the 26-year-old recorded 78 receptions for 1,154 yards and four touchdowns while leading the team to a Grey Cup victory. American receiver Reggie White Jr. will be a healthy scratch to make room.
Defensively, the team will be without elite defensive tackle Mustafa Johnson (knee), who has made 35 tackles and six sacks in 15 games this year. Rookie Antonio Moultrie kicks inside to defensive tackle, while Jordan Domineck will get the start at defensive end. Veteran cornerback Nafees Lyon (knee) will also be absent with Lorenzo Burns getting the start on the boundary side. Najee Murray will be back in the lineup for the first time since Week 9 and will take over at strong-side linebacker, bumping Bryce Cosby into a depth role.
Rounding out the roster moves, Canadian receiver Regis Cibasu returns from injury and Theo Grant will dress as a seventh offensive lineman. Canadian linebacker Frederic Chagnon (knee) will be out this week.
The Montreal Alouettes (11-3-1) will host the Ottawa Redblacks (8-6-1) on Monday, October 14 at 1:00 p.m. EDT.

Last post by gobombersgo - October 13, 2024, 10:18:41 PMTop receiver Justin Hardy out for Redblacks vs. Alouettes
By 3Down Staff -October 13, 2024
The Ottawa Redblacks will be without their best offensive playmaker when they fact off against the Montreal Alouettes on Thanksgiving Day.
Receiver Justin Hardy has been ruled out for the contest due to an ankle injury. The 32-year-old former NFLer entered this week second in the CFL in receiving yardage, having caught 90 passes for 1,241 yards and four touchdowns. Since joining the Redblacks in 2022, he has appeared in 40 games and racked up 219 receptions for 2,666 yards and seven majors, earning East Division all-star honours in 2023.
Hardy will be replaced by rookie Andre Miller, who has caught 10 passes for 182 yards and two touchdowns in four games this year. Veteran backup Jeremiah Masoli will get his third start of the season under centre, with franchise quarterback Dru Brown still nursing an ankle injury.
Defensively, the Redblacks will get two impactful defensive starters back in action with the returns of cornerback Brandin Dandridge and weak-side linebacker Frankie Griffin. Dandridge has notched 19 tackles and two interceptions in just six games this year, while Griffin has made 51 defensive tackles in 10 appearances. National safety Yani Gouadfel and American corner C.J. Coldon have been demoted to the practice roster to make room.
The Ottawa Redblacks (8-6-1) will visit the Montreal Alouettes (11-3-1) on Monday, October 14 at 1:00 p.m. EDT.

They could have season ending injuries however they need to be placed on the 1 game injured list.

I'm really happy that we came out of that slobberknocker with Toronto relatively unscathed. Getting a bye comes at a great time for us to heal some bodies too and to be well prepared for an important game against Montreal.

Last post by J5V - October 13, 2024, 09:24:17 PMQuote from: ModAdmin on October 13, 2024, 08:59:04 PMInteresting that Montreal will start Davis Alexander in next week's game. Fajardo will be a healthy scratch. I doubt they would sit Fajardo in the game against us (2 weeks in a row before the playoffs) but you never know.Why would you doubt it? If I was them there is no way I'd have my #1 QB playing against a team that'll be hungry for a win in a game that means nothing for Montreal.
