The B.C. Lions had a scare with Mike Reilly at Tim Hortons Field.

Reilly was tracking down a bobbled snap, his ankle stuck and turned in the turf during the fourth quarter of the Leos loss to Hamilton. Trainers looked at his ankle on the sideline, taping it up and Reilly went back in the game.

After post game treatment, Mike Reilly says he will be ready for practice Monday. "You know me," Reilly says. #BCLions HC DeVone Claybrooks a little more cautious, says Reilly will be evaluated day-to-day on short week. "We need [Reilly] for the long haul," says coach #CFL
