Alouettes quarterback Davis Alexander to make first CFL start against Tiger-Cats

Aug 1, 2024 | 10:49 AM

HAMILTON — Davis Alexander will make his first CFL start Friday night when the Montreal Alouettes visit the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

Alexander was listed atop Montreal’s quarterback depth chart Thursday, ahead of veteran Caleb Evans and first-year player James Morgan.

The Portland State product replaced Evans in last week’s 20-16 win over Saskatchewan, completing 15-of-18 passes for 178 yards and two touchdowns in rallying Montreal (6-1) to the victory.

Evans got the start ahead of incumbent Cody Fajardo, who had been placed on the six-game injury list with a hamstring ailment.

Fajardo came off six-game injured list and resumed practising with Montreal this week but won’t dress Friday.
