Collaros also recently signed a new three-year contract that will keep in Hamilton through the 2018 season.

Despite his return to practice, it’s unlikely that Collaros will play this Friday against the Montreal Alouettes. Jeremiah Masoli, who has started all three games this season, took the first team reps at practice on Monday. Masoli is third in the CFL with 933 passing yards, five touchdowns and four interceptions. He has also fumbled four times, losing three.
