The Calgary Stampeders have lost Canadian offensive lineman Sean McEwen to the six-game injured list.
The six-foot-three, 299-pound blocker was originally selected in the first round of the 2015 CFL Draft by the Toronto Argonauts and has dressed for 124 career games and made 119 starts, including nine this season at centre. The four-time division all-star and three-time CFL all-star will be replaced by Rodeem Brown for Thursday’s game against the Ottawa Redblacks.
The Stampeders have made several other changes on offence, demoting Cam Echols to the practice roster and moving Jalen Philpot into his place at boundary wide receiver. The change will allow Cole Tucker to enter the starting lineup at slotback. Josh Coker has also taken back the starting job at right tackle following the release of Trevon Tate.
Canadian defensive lineman Kwadwo Boahen has returned to the lineup following a stint on the six-game injured list, while linebacker Adam Konar has been added to it with a hamstring injury. The University of Calgary product has made one defensive tackle and six special teams tackles this season.
Calgary has also promoted running back Kylin Hill and fullback Ron Tiavaasue to the active roster after dressing only one player in the backfield in last week’s loss to the Toronto Argonauts.
The Calgary Stampeders (4-5) will host the Ottawa Redblacks (5-2-1) on Thursday, Aug. 15 with kickoff slated for 9:00 p.m. EDT.
