Prized free-agent acquisition Reggie Stubblefield making Hamilton Tiger-Cats debut vs. Ottawa
By 3Down Staff -July 11, 2025

One of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats' biggest offseason additions will make his much-anticipated debut for the team on Saturday against Ottawa.

Reggie Stubblefield will get the start at strong-side linebacker after missing the first four games of the season while rehabbing a torn ACL suffered in the 2024 season opener while playing for the Alouettes. Veteran Branden Dozier, who has made 13 tackles this year, will be a healthy scratch to make room.

The 26-year-old Stubblefield was Montreal's nominee for Most Outstanding Rookie in 2023 after making 38 defensive tackles, three special teams tackles, three sacks, two interceptions, and a forced fumble in 13 games, helping the Alouettes win the Grey Cup. His new contract with Hamilton runs through 2027.

On the other side of the ball, the Ticats have elected to swap out their left tackle as Jordan Murray will get the start after previously serving as a healthy scratch. Incumbent Brendan Bordner will head to the one-game injured list despite not being listed on this week's report.

American running back Greg Bell (ribs) will also miss this contest while on the one-game, allowing rookie Treshaun Ward to dress behind Johnny Augustine for a second time this season. Canadian receiver Keaton Bruggeling will suit up for special teams depth while defensive back Robert Panabaker (hamstring) sits out.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats (2-2) will host the Ottawa Redblacks (1-4) at Hamilton Stadium on Saturday, July 12 with kickoff slated for 7:00 p.m. EDT. Ottawa suffered a 39-33 loss to the Edmonton Elks last week, while Hamilton is coming off a 51-38 win over the Toronto Argonauts.

The weather forecast calls for sunny conditions at kickoff with a high of 29 degrees. The game will be broadcast on TSN, RDS, and CTV in Canada and on CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune-in on TSN 1200 in Ottawa and the Ticats Audio Network in Hamilton.

Ratio-changing Canadian OL Zack Pelehos returns for Ottawa Redblacks vs. Ticats
By 3Down Staff -July 11, 2025

The Ottawa Redblacks are still battling plenty of injury concerns, but will get a major piece of their offensive line back in the lineup for Saturday's clash with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

Canadian right tackle Zack Pelehos will return to his starting spot after missing the first five games of the year with a foot injury. The second overall pick in the 2022 CFL Draft has started 23 of his 38 career games at the position and looked to be trending in the right direction for his development prior to the injury.

In his absence, right tackle had been a serious concern for the Redblacks, leading to the release of opening day American starter Darta Lee. Rookie American Parker Moorer filled in last week, but has now been returned to the practice roster.

Pelehos' return comes at a critical time for the Redblacks' ratio-wise, as safety Charlie Ringland (hamstring) has been placed on the one-game injured list. He is the third experienced Canadian at that position to be sidelined with injury, prompting versatile American defensive back Bennett Williams to get the start. Canadian King Ambers and American Alijah McGhee will both dress for depth in the secondary.

Weak-side linebacker Frankie Griffin (knee) has also been placed on the one-game injured list, allowing for B.C. Lions' Most Outstanding Rookie nominee Ace Eley to make his starting debut for Ottawa. Canadian Lucas Cormier returns to the lineup as his primary backup after recovering from an ankle injury, sending Dawson Pierre back to the practice squad. Along the defensive line, former first-round pick Anthony Bennett has been demoted in favour of American Chas McGowan.

The most significant injury change is the loss of veteran returner Devonte Dedmon, who has been placed on the six-game injured list after getting his ankle twisted last week. That injury is apparently not as bad as initially feared and Kalil Pimpleton will take over primary return duties in the interim, while still maintaining his role as a starting receiver. He scored a 97-yard punt return touchdown in relief against Edmonton.

The Ottawa Redblacks (1-4) will visit the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (2-2) at Hamilton Stadium on Saturday, July 12 with kickoff slated for 7:00 p.m. EDT. Ottawa suffered a 39-33 loss to the Edmonton Elks last week, while Hamilton is coming off a 51-38 win over the Toronto Argonauts.

The weather forecast calls for sunny conditions at kickoff with a high of 29 degrees . The game will be broadcast on TSN, RDS, and CTV in Canada and on CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune-in on TSN 1200 in Ottawa and the Ticats Audio Network in Hamilton.

Leggs missed a PAT (is windy)
Lawler getting attention on his left arm (minor)
Geno looks great
Brown has weird angle on his deep throw to Geno (duck)
JA not having a great game

[markf]

It's Redblacks so who knows, but So far Dru has not had a great career as a starter.

I have not liked Bo since his obnoxious remark about "we showed them who they are, "

But I am  getting a kick out of watching him do well.

The difference between Lawler and Lewis isn't the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.
