Ottawa Redblacks quarterback Dru Brown was taken to the locker room with an apparent injury after absorbing a hit to the helmet in the second quarter of their game against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Brown dropped back to pass on a first down and was blown up by an unmarked Dashaun Amos coming off the edge on a blitz.<\/p>\n
Amos made direct contact to the head of Brown, and was whistled for a 25-yard spearing penalty as a result of the play.<\/p>\n
Backup QB Dustin Crum came in to replace Brown after the starter was examined by training staff for a short moment on the field. Brown walked off the field and was taken straight to the locker room.<\/p>\n
Brown exited the game having completed six of eight passes for 66 yards with an interception, with the Redblacks trailing 10-3.<\/p>\n
Brown was playing in his fourth game this season for Ottawa, after a hip injury in the season opener forced the 28-year-old to miss three games.<\/p>\n
Entering Sunday’s contest, Brown had completed 89 of 122 passes for 1,012 yards with five touchdowns and two interceptions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ottawa Redblacks quarterback Dru Brown was taken to the locker room with an apparent injury after absorbing a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11864,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-11863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-canadian-football-league","tag-canadianfootballleague","tag-cfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11863","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11863"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11863\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11864"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11863"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11863"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
