Ottawa Redblacks quarterback Dru Brown was limited in practice on Monday due to a hip injury, as per the team’s official report.

The five-foot-eleven, 200-pound passer completed 34-of-41 pass attempts for 413 yards and two touchdowns in the club’s season-opening 31-26 loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders. He appeared to suffer the injury late in the game, though he didn’t miss any snaps.

The 28-year-old native of Palo Alto, Calif. went 8-6-1 as a starter in 2024, throwing for 3,959 yards, 18 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. He also rushed 14 times for 57 yards.
