The struggling Hamilton Tiger-Cats have made another flurry of roster moves ahead of their Labour Day Classic clash with the Toronto Argonauts, including re-inserting a head-scratching healthy scratch into the lineup.
Right tackle Jordan Murray will return to the starting position he was expected to cement himself into after returning from the NFL last season. The 27-year-old missed the start of this season with injury before returning for four starts, only to be benched the past few weeks in favour of rookie Quinton Barrow. With Barrow (knee) now ruled out, Murray will step back in to the lineup.
Also getting back into the rotation after being a healthy scratch is linebacker Carthell Flowers-Lloyd, the CFL’s 2023 leader in special teams tackles. After recording a whopping 31 takedowns last year, he has dressed for just six games this season and three special teams tackles.
Other depth pieces returning to the lineup include Canadian receiver Tyler Ternowski, rookie linebacker Daniel Bell, and 2024 first-round offensive lineman Nathaniel Dumoulin-Duguay. Sitting down for the QEW rivalry are Canadian defensive back Robert Panabaker, offensive lineman Evan Johnson, and defensive lineman Benoit Marion, as well as American receiver Dezmon Patmon.
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats (2-9) will host the Toronto Argonauts (6-4) for the Labour Day Classic on Monday, September 2 at 2:30 p.m. EDT.
