VANCOUVER — The B.C. Lions, who struggled in Saturday’s 25-11 loss to the Calgary Stampeders, have lost one of their biggest offensive weapons.

The CFL team confirmed Monday afternoon that veteran receiver Bryan Burnham suffered a fractured wrist in Saturday’s setback and will be placed on the six-game injured list this week.

Burnham led B.C. (9-4) with 58 receiving yards against the Stampeders.

The Lions remain hopeful that both Burnham and injured quarterback Nathan Rourke will return in time for the playoffs.

Rourke sustained a sprain in his right foot during the fourth quarter of a game against Saskatchewan on Aug. 20. The club later announced that Rourke would require surgery, sidelining him for at least eight to 10 weeks.
