Four starters return for Montreal Alouettes against Winnipeg
by 3Down Staff  October 2, 2026

The Montreal Alouettes are getting four starters back in the lineup for Saturday's clash with Winnipeg.

Najee Murray is returning to his usual strong-side linebacker position, while Wesley Sutton will take over at safety after recovering from injury. Murray has recorded 40 defensive tackles, two sacks, two forced fumbles, and an interception in 10 games this season, sitting out the last two due to a head injury. Sutton has made 32 defensive tackles, a forced fumble, and an interception over the same span and was sidelined with back issues.

Also back at field cornerback is Don Callis, who served a one-game suspension for his role in a sideline altercation against B.C. Rookie defensive backs Neil Campbell and Gemon Green have both been demoted to the practice roster to make room, as has linebacker Quinn Urwiler.

Up front, veteran defensive tackle Dylan Wynn will make his 2026 debut after signing with the Als at the start of the week, though he is listed as a rotational piece. Defensive end Julian Howsare is not yet ready to go after being acquired via trade from Hamilton on Tuesday, but T.J. Guy will dress as depth at that position. Defensive tackle Decarius Hawthorne has been returned to the practice roster.

On the other side of the ball, receiver Jerreth Sterns is ready to make his return from a hand injury after last suiting up in Week 2. He made 10 catches for 121 yards through the first two games. Veteran American pass catcher Alexander Hollins and Canadian target Kaseem Ferdinand will both spend the week on the reserve roster to make room.

The Montreal Alouettes (11-3) will host the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (7-7) on Saturday, October 3, with kickoff scheduled for 7:00 p.m. EDT. The Blue Bombers are coming off a tight loss to the Argonauts, while the Alouettes were on bye.

The game will be broadcast on TSN and RDS2 in Canada and CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune in on 680 CJOB in Winnipeg or TSN 690 (English) or 99.5 Montreal (French) in Montreal.
