MONTREAL — Matt Shiltz will replace the suspended Vernon Adams Jr. as starting quarterback for the Montreal Alouettes in the team’s next game.
Shiltz gets the call on Saturday in B.C., against the Lions (3-10) after Adams was given a one-game suspension for a helmet-swinging incident during a win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers last weekend.
Adams has led the surging Als (7-5) to four wins in their past five games.
Saturday’s game will be Shiltz’s first start of the season and second of his career. He is 11-for-16 passing for 107 yards this season in two games in relief roles.
