Alouettes, Blue Bombers Set Grey Cup Final Injury Report
Only one player — Montreal defensive back Zach Lindley — has been designated as out for Sunday’s Grey Cup, as both the Alouettes and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers released their final injury report on Friday.
Lindley, who was listed with a head injury, was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but did not practice on Friday and is now out for the game Sunday.
Lindley had not played for Montreal since Sept. 30 against Ottawa.
Montreal wide receiver Kaion Julien-Grant, who is dealing with a shoulder injury and practiced all week, is listed as doubtful. He hasn’t played since Sept. 30 and produced more than 500 receiving yards nine games.
Offensive lineman Pier-Olivier Lestage is listed as questionable with a knee injury. He did not practice on Friday after two days of full workouts.
For Winnipeg, no one is listed as out, but four players are questionable and two are doubtful.
Among the players that are questionable are defensive lineman Jackson Jeffcoat (hip), linebacker Kyrie Wilson (hip), wide receiver Rasheed Bailey (knee) and wide receiver Nic Demski (ankle).
Jeffcoat practiced in full for the second straight day on Friday. Wilson, Bailey and Demski were all limited after not practicing on Wednesday and Thursday.
Demski was questionable before Winnipeg’s last playoff game, but he was unable to go. He was a 1,000-yard receiver for the Blue Bombers this season.
So was Dalton Schoen, who is doubtful with an ankle injury and didn’t practice all week. Schoen also gained more than 1,000 yards receiving this season.
Winnipeg linebacker Adam Bighill is doubtful. He is dealing with a calf injury. He arrived for Grey Cup week with that leg in a boot and hasn’t practiced all week.
