Montreal Alouettes’ quarterback Cody Fajardo will start against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Thursday night.

The six-foot-two, 233-pound pivot missed the club’s two most recent games due to an injury to his non-throwing shoulder. He was a limited participant in practice this past week and dressed in an emergency role behind quarterbacks Caleb Evans and Davis Alexander in the club’s 25-24 win over the Ottawa Redblacks.

Montreal went 2-0 during Fajardo’s absence from the lineup as Evans threw for 482 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions in victories over Saskatchewan and Ottawa.
