Injuries to key players not a problem yet for red hot Redblacks
OTTAWA — An early rash of injuries, including a broken finger to star quarterback Henry Burris, has not been a problem so far for the Ottawa Redblacks.
The Redblacks will look to improve to 3-0 Friday night as they host the Calgary Stampeders (1-1) in its sold-out home opener at TD Place.
Despite losing its number one quarterback and running back, the Redblacks have posted impressive road victories against Edmonton and Montreal. The Redblacks are also without receiver Jamill Smith who suffered a rib fracture.
Trevor Harris has been the driving force stepping in for the injured Burris, going 37-for-45 for a league-leading 687 yards and six touchdowns.
