The B.C. Lions have ruled out defensive back Garry Peters for Saturday’s game against the Montreal Alouettes. The team issued its official depth chart on Friday morning.
The 34-year-old was a limited participant in practice this week due to a shoulder injury. He was listed as questionable on the team’s injury report on Thursday.
Peters has played 141 career regular-season CFL games, including 122 with the Lions. The Atlanta, Ga. native has recorded 444 defensive tackles, 19 special teams tackles, six tackles for loss, 70 pass knockdowns, 19 interceptions, two sacks, and three forced fumbles.

The veteran defender will be replaced at boundary cornerback by Stantley Thomas-Oliver, who has made nine starts so far this season. The 28-year-old has recorded 15 defensive tackles, four pass knockdowns, and one interception.
The Lions have made three other changes to their roster, as Shaun Peterson Jr., Ben Hladik, and Christophe Beaulieu will dress in depth roles defensively.
Beaulieu is slated to make his return to the lineup after tearing his ACL in Week 16 of last year. Prior to the injury, he had collected 37 total tackles, one forced fumble, six pass breakups, and two interceptions in 14 games.
In corresponding moves, Lorenzo Mauldin IV (reserve roster), Woodly Appolon (six-game injured list), and Maxime Rouyer (six-game injured list) have come off the active roster.
The B.C. Lions (6-6) will host the Montreal Alouettes (10-2) at BC Place Stadium on Saturday, September 12, with kickoff scheduled for 10:00 p.m. EDT. The two teams met at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium last week, where the Alouettes won 37-30.
The game will be broadcast on TSN and RDS in Canada and CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune in on 730 CKNW (English) or Sher-E-Punjab Radio AM 600 (Punjabi) in Vancouver, or TSN 690 (English) or 99.5 Montreal (French) in Montreal.
