HAMILTON – The Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Montreal Alouettes both made roster moves Saturday ahead of the East Division final.
Montreal listed Canadian guard Pier-Olivier Lestage and American defensive lineman Shawn Lemon both as out for the game. No reasons were given for the moves but Lestage was a limited participant in practice this week with a neck ailment.
First-year American Des Holmes comes off the practice roster to start for Lestage at right guard. Canadian Philippe Lemieux-Cardinal shifts to take Lemon’s spot behind Canadian defensive lineman Lwal Uguak.
