Davis Alexander is injured. McLeod Bethel-Thompson too. So Wednesday afternoon, the Montreal Alouettes announced the arrival of Cameron Dukes in the nest.
It was necessary to read the latest paragraph of the press release sent by the team to understand why the Montreal training needed to bring another quarter.
Bethel-Thompson, a quarter reservist of Davis Alexander, was placed on the injured list for six games due to a right-in-elbow injury. This season, Bethel-Thompson has won only one of his five starts.
Alexander has compiled a 4-0 sheet this season when he led the Montreal attack.
In the last meeting, against the Edmonton Elks, head coach Jason Maas chose to start the second half with Caleb Evans, third quarter in the hierarchy, and to the 37-year-old bench. Evans will be the start of the Alouettes, next Saturday, against the Lions in British Columbia.
The lark turned to Dukes, released by the Argonauts de Toronto at the start of the summer. Originally from Kentucky, the 27 -year -old athlete completed 143 of his 199 passes for gains of 1444 yards and seven affected, in addition to adding 321 yards to the ground and four other adults.
In addition, the Montreal team also released the American defensive half Brandin Dandridge (Missouri Western State University), as well as American defensive line byron Vaughns (Baylor).
