Tiger-Cats rookie defensive back Keon Lyn suffered a broken femur against Edmonton, per sources.
While attempting to make a tackle on Eskimos receiver Brandon Zylstra in the third quarter, Lyn’s foot caught in the turf and his leg bent awkwardly as he crumpled in pain.
The 25-year-old was making his first start at boundary corner after seeing action at the strong side linebacker spot a week prior, playing well, until the setback occurred.
Tiger-Cats head coach Kent Austin visited Lyn in the hospital after the freak incident.
