A Return to the Alouettes Before the Game in Ottawa?

The Montreal Alouettes could receive some great news ahead of their matchup against the Ottawa Rouge et Noir on Friday night.

Linebacker Kabion Ento appears to be on track to return to action after missing time due to a hamstring injury.

The No. 48 player had missed the Alouettes' last four games after being placed on the one-game injured reserve list.

However, Ento returned to his usual position during the team's only practice of the week, held Wednesday at Hébert Stadium in Saint-Léonard.

Injured during the third game of the season, the defensive veteran has been working his way back to full fitness. Last week, he participated in practice on a limited basis before returning to full training, although he was ultimately not selected by head coach Jason Maas for the game against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

Maas remains cautious about Ento's availability for Friday's game, but he acknowledges the efforts his defensive back has made to return to full health.

“He looked really good, but we'll have to see how he feels. His health remains the priority,” explained the Alouettes' head coach.

Cyrille Hogan-Saindon Continues to Earn the Alouettes' Trust

Kabion Ento's potential return isn't the only situation to watch with the Alouettes. On offense, center Justin Lawrence is also nearing a return, but all signs indicate he'll have to wait a little longer before reclaiming his starting spot.

After missing six games, Lawrence has participated in full practices for a third consecutive week. Despite this, Cyrille Hogan-Saindon appears to have convinced the coaching staff to maintain their confidence in him.

Since stepping in, Hogan-Saindon has seamlessly integrated into the starting lineup. The Alouettes remain the team that has allowed the fewest quarterback sacks this season, with just seven.

Jason Maas was quick to highlight the excellent work done by his young center, particularly his leadership and ability to direct the Montreal offense.

The Alouettes will head to Ottawa on Thursday ahead of their matchup scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at TD Place. With Kabion Ento potentially returning and a solid offensive line, Montreal will look to continue its excellent season.
