\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tToronto Argonauts’ DaShaun Amos (8) runs back an interception as Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ Ontaria Wilson (80) and Argonauts’ Tarvarus McFadden (2) look on during second half CFL football action at the 111th Grey Cup in Vancouver on Sunday, November 17, 2024.

While Amos will be a little lighter in the pocketbook, he\u2019ll be able to play Sunday night when Hamilton (4-2) visits the B.C. Lions (3-4).<\/p>\n
Brown left Ottawa\u2019s 30-15 loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the second quarter last Sunday after being hit by Amos. The Ticats defensive back came clean off the edge on a blitz and delivered a blow that knocked Brown\u2019s helmet off.<\/p>\n
Replays showed Amos struck the bottom of Brown\u2019s facemask with the crown of his helmet. Brown\u2019s helmet flew off, though his chinstrap wasn\u2019t fully secured.<\/p>\n
Brown left the game and didn\u2019t return. Amos received a Grade 2 25-yard penalty for roughing the passer.<\/p>\n
Amos had a hearing with the CFL on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The six-foot-11, 190-pound Amos is in his first season with Hamilton. Before that, he spent three years with the Toronto Argonauts (2022-24), helping them win Grey Cup titles in 2022 and \u201924.<\/p>\n
The three-time Grey Cup champion began his CFL career with Calgary (2018-19, 2021).<\/p>\n
Amos and Brown exchanged messages on social media following the hit.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst and foremost, my thoughts and prayers go out to Dru,\u201d Amos wrote on X. \u201cAs someone who has lost significant playing time due to injury, that\u2019s the last thing I would intentionally do to someone.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe talk about lack of technique, I\u2019ll take it, but the cheap shot, dirty player talk? Got the wrong guy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brown responded that he had no animosity toward Amos.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe people that matter know you\u2019re not that type of player,\u201d Brown responded.<\/p>\n
Ottawa is on a bye week and resumes its season Thursday night hosting the Calgary Stampeders.<\/p>\n
