The Montreal Alouettes will get their defensive leader and strongest francophone voice back in the fold on Saturday in Toronto.
Canadian safety Marc-Antoine Dequoy is poised to return to the lineup after missing the last two games with a head injury. In 11 games this year, the 30-year-old has made 22 defensive tackles, two interceptions, and forced a fumble.
The product of the Montreal Carabins was selected by the Alouettes in the second round of the 2020 CFL Draft and joined the team the following year after a stint with the Green Bay Packers. In 51 career CFL games, he has amassed 118 defensive tackles, 17 special teams tackles, 11 interceptions, five forced fumbles, and two defensive touchdowns. In 2023, he was named a CFL all-star and helped Montreal win the Grey Cup.
Offensive lineman Theo Grant has been demoted to the practice roster to make room for Dequoy but the lineup remains otherwise unchanged.
The Alouettes have 11 players on the six-game injured list, including receivers Austin Mack and Tyson Philpot. American offensive lineman Jamar McGloster is the only player on the one-game injured list.
The Montreal Alouettes (11-2-1) will visit the Toronto Argonauts (7-7) on Saturday, September 28 at 7:00 p.m. EDT.
