Ottawa Redblacks to put quarterback Harris on six-game injured list
OTTAWA — The Ottawa Redblacks could be without regular starting quarterback Trevor Harris for the stretch drive of the CFL season.
Harris will be added to the six-game injured list due to a right shoulder sprain and it’s unclear when he’ll be able to return. Backup pivot Drew Tate will get the nod Sunday in Montreal as the Redblacks try to hang on to first place in the East Division standings.
“(Tate) has the ability to move around a little bit and create things with his feet,” Redblacks general manager Marcel Desjardins said Tuesday. “He sees the field very well. He understands the personnel in the league, understands defences, he understands what people are going to try to do to us so it’s not like we’re throwing somebody in there who’s never been in this league.
“He throws a very nice, catchable ball and he’s just a smart quarterback.”
