Redblacks QB Trevor Harris suffers possible injury against Alouettes

Ottawa Redblacks quarterback Trevor Harris left the team’s first pre-season with a possible lower body injury and did not return.

Montreal Alouettes safety Chris Ackie came on a blitz and fell into Harris’ left leg just after he released the ball and it was intercepted. The 33-year-old was writhing in pain on the field and eventually limped off to the Redblacks locker room. Clearly struggling to put any weight on his left leg.

#RedBlacks head coach Rick Campbell says Trevor Harris’s injury “isn’t catastrophic” and should be “short term,” but he will be re-evaluated tomorrow #CFL

Harris was forced to miss three games with a right shoulder sprain last season, the Redblacks went 1-2 in Harris’s absence. Ottawa re-signed Harris to a one-year contract worth around $450,000 with a six-figure signing bonus. in the off-season. Harris tied for the CFL lead in touchdown passes with 30 during the 2017 campaign and went 7-7-1 as the team’s starting pivot, guiding the Redblacks to a home playoff game. He was fourth in passing yards with 4,679. He put up 16 touchdowns and 3,301 passing yards in 12 games during the 2016 season, his first with Ottawa. That year he split duty with Henry Burris.
