The Hamilton Tiger-Cats were missing two members of their secondary at practice on Tuesday, as Stavros Katsantonis and Jamal Peters were both unable to participate due to injuries, TSN’s Matthew Scianitti reports.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Katsantonis is dealing with a right ankle injury, while Peters got treatment for a neck injury in the team’s 41-38 loss to the BC Lions in overtime on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Katsantonis, 28, has appeared in all nine games at safety for the Tiger-Cats this year, totalling 38 tackles and three interceptions.<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old Peters has also started all nine games for Hamilton in his second season with the team, registering 36 tackles with three interceptions.<\/p>\n
Peters was an All-Star a season ago, and helped the Toronto Argonauts win the 2022 Grey Cup.<\/p>\n
Speaking after practice, Tiger-Cats\u00a0head coach Scott Milanovich indicated that both players could be considered game-time decisions and he would not rule either player out for their matchup against the CFL-leading Saskatchewan Roughriders on Saturday\u00a0at this time.<\/p>\n
While Hamilton leads the East Division at 6-3 after 10 weeks, the defence has struggled at times this year – especially in two games against the Lions over the last three weeks, where they surrendered 33 and 41 points.<\/p>\n
Lions quarterback Nathan Rourke threw for 408 yards and two touchdowns in the come-from-behind victory on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The Tiger-Cats are sixth in the CFL in pass defence, allowing 275.7 yards per game entering Week 11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Hamilton Tiger-Cats were missing two members of their secondary at practice on Tuesday, as Stavros Katsantonis and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":64860,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-64859","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\/64859","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=64859"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64859\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64860"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64859"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64859"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64859"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
