After a stunning win in Saskatchewan, the Alouettes are aiming for a second consecutive victory. We'll also find out whether quarterback Davis Alexander will be back at his post for this important game against the Argos.
The Montreal Alouettes may once again have to do without the services of Davis Alexander for their next crucial match-up on Friday. The coach and fans are holding out slim hope, but all indications are that the American pivot is not ready to make an immediate return to the field.
On Tuesday, Alexander took part in practice, but only to a limited extent, confirming that his persistent left leg injury remains a cause for concern.
First hit by a muscle in June, he managed to return to action on July 17, only to be slowed down again by the same physical problem. This relapse seriously complicates the management of the Alouettes squad, already weakened by a number of absences in various positions.
Since the start of the season, Montreal has been facing a veritable epidemic of injuries. The offensive line, receivers and now the quarterback position are all affected, with a direct impact on the team's stability and productivity.
In a section where every win counts to secure a playoff spot, the prolonged loss of a key player like Alexander is already taking its toll.
Depth put to the test
The replacements will have to redouble their efforts to fill the void, while the defense will be called upon to limit the damage against a formidable Toronto outfit.
This match against the Argonauts is of the utmost importance, both for the standings and for the confidence of a team trying to remain competitive despite the pitfalls. The Sparrows are riding a wave of optimism after a surprising victory over the CFL's best team.
While fans were hoping to see the offense regain its rhythm, Alexander's medical situation is raising doubts. The next medical verdict could well determine not only the rest of his season, but also the Alouettes' playoff ambitions.
