Veteran backup Jeremiah Masoli continues to take first-team reps as the Ottawa Redblacks returned to practice following their final bye week, according to TSN radio play-by-play man AJ Jakubec.

Starting quarterback Dru Brown has been on the shelf since the mid-way point of the team’s Week 16 loss to Montreal, when he was pulled for a nagging ankle injury. In 14 games this season, he has completed 255-of-383 passes for 3,114 yards, 11 touchdowns, and eight interceptions.

Masoli made his second start of the season in Week 17, going 26-of-36 for 278 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in a loss to Saskatchewan. He won his previous start over Calgary in Week 11, completing 27-of-35 pass attempts for 254 yards and one touchdown.
