The Montreal Alouettes are closely monitoring the recovery of their star quarterback, Davis Alexander, and the signals sent by the organization are particularly encouraging.

Head coach Jason Maas and general manager Danny Maciocia have both expressed optimism about the progress of his thigh injury, which hampered his performance last season. According to the directors, the rehabilitation plan drawn up during the off-season is progressing according to plan and suggests a full return within a reasonable timeframe.

Alexander is expected back in Montreal by the end of the month to meet with management and take stock of his physical condition. This visit will also enable the Alouettes' medical team to carry out a more in-depth evaluation and confirm whether the next stages of the recovery program can be completed safely.

“I talked to him about the new year and asked him how much more time he needed, and he said just two weeks. He's coming to Montreal at the end of the month and we'll see each other then. He will also be met by our medical team. That was the plan for the offseason, to make sure he reached certain points (in his rehabilitation). It's looking very good.”

For the organization, this follow-up is crucial to ensure that the quarterback can resume his activities without compromising his long-term health.

Discussions between Maas and Alexander seem to indicate that the player is feeling increasingly comfortable physically. The quarterback reportedly mentioned that he believed he only needed two more weeks to regain full fitness. A response which, according to the head coach, testifies to solid progress and a serious commitment to his rehabilitation.

A long-awaited return to stabilize the Montreal attack

Alexander's return to full fitness would be excellent news for the Alouettes, whose offense has had an erratic time in his absence. Management had made his recovery one of its priority objectives for the offseason, hoping that he would achieve key milestones before resuming activities. If the medical evaluation confirms the coaching staff's impressions, Montreal could enter its next camp with greater stability at quarterback, an essential element in maintaining its ambitions at the top of the CFL.

The organization is cautious, but all indications are that Davis Alexander is close to a full return, a reassuring prospect for the future.
