Ottawa quarterback Drew Tate was crunched late in the second quarter against Montreal.
Alouettes rookie defensive back Dondre Wright came free on the blitz and crushed the 32-year-old. Tate, starting in place of Trevor Harris who suffered a shoulder injury last week, left the game after completing 21-of-29 passes for 185 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He was wearing a sling on his right arm on the sidelines in the second half.
Third-string pivot Ryan Lindley entered and threw an interception on his first pass.
Redblacks head coach Rick Campbell addressed Tate’s injury after his team’s 29-11 win.
“Initially we thought he had the wind knocked out of him,” said Campbell. “But we really don’t know the extent. He doesn’t feel right. We’re going to get a further evaluation.”
