Montreal Alouettes Roster Updates
A familiar face returns to the Alouettes' starting lineup for Friday's clash with the Tiger-Cats. Charleston Rambo, who rejoined the team earlier this month, will step in for Alexander Hollins at wide receiver.
Meanwhile, Montreal has placed veteran reciever Cole Spieker on the six-game injured list. Defensive back Kabion Ento has also been sidelined with an ankle injury. Ento has been a key contributor this season, recording 17 defensive tackles and three fumble recoveries across his nine starts.
These lineup changes will test the Alouettes' depth, as the team looks to complete the season sweep against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Tiger-Cats Uphill Battle
On July, 5, 2026, Bo Levi Mitchell suffered a serious left ankle injury and has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2026 season. Since then, the Tiger-Cats have used both quarterbacks Tre Ford and Harrison Frost.
During the Labour Day Classic against the Toronto Argonauts, Tre Ford took a hard hit to the head. After leaving at halftime due to a head injury, his status remains day-to-day.
Harrison Frost has been named the Week 16 starter against the Montreal Alouettes. With a 1-1 record as a starter this season, Frost faces a significant test against a tough Montreal defense.
If they want to keep their playoff hopes alive, the Tiger-Cats will need to win out the remainder of the regular season.
