Franchise quarterback Davis Alexander has missed the team’s last six games due to a hamstring injury, while third-stringer Caleb Evans suffered a torn ACL in his lone start. James Morgan, the team’s fourth-string passer, started the team’s two most recent games and threw for 336 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions.

The Alouettes have also placed Canadian running back Sean Thomas-Erlington on the six-game injured list.

The 33-year-old native of Montreal, Que. has rushed for a career-high 386 yards and two touchdowns and caught nine passes for 68 yards and one score over 11 games this season. He has spent the past two years with his hometown Alouettes following a six-year run with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats to start his CFL career.

The Montreal Alouettes (5-7) will visit the Saskatchewan Roughriders (10-2) on Saturday, September 13 with kickoff slated for 7:00 p.m. EDT. The Alouettes lost 26-9 at home to the Tiger-Cats last week, while the Roughriders beat the Blue Bombers in the Banjo Bowl by a score of 21-13.
