The second practice session of the day ended with both defensive backs on the ground, but Jason Maas said the team expected them back at practice.<\/p>\n<p>Maas called it \u201cC\u2019est un jeu malheureux avec deux gars qui luttent pour le m\u00eame ballon\u201d and said the play came on a tight pass from Davis Alexander. He added that the two players had more fear than harm and would likely only be dealing with aches and pains.<\/p>\n<p>Jason Maas on the collision<\/p>\n<p>The coach\u2019s description fit the way the play unfolded. \u201cNos gars donnent tout \u00e0 l\u2019entra\u00eenement; ils imitent ce qui se passe en situation de match. On veut que nos gars soient comp\u00e9titifs. [\u2026] Nos routes offensives sont tr\u00e8s pr\u00e8s l\u2019une de l\u2019autre sur ce jeu. Forc\u00e9ment, les demis d\u00e9fensifs seront appel\u00e9s \u00e0 \u00eatre tr\u00e8s pr\u00e8s l\u2019un de l\u2019autre. La fen\u00eatre d\u2019ex\u00e9cution \u00e9tait tr\u00e8s mince pour Davis, qui a lanc\u00e9 toute une passe. C\u2019est ce qui a entra\u00een\u00e9 cette collision.\u201d            <\/p>\n<p>That is the part that turned a routine camp rep into a scary one. Kennedy III and Sutton were both fighting for the same ball, and the ball arrived in a window so tight that the coverage drill ended with contact instead of a clean completion.<\/p>\n<p>Two receiver jobs in play<\/p>\n<p>The collision happened inside a camp where jobs are still up for grabs. Maas said Alexander Hollins and Jerreth Sterns appeared to be ahead of the other receivers for two available starting receiver jobs.<\/p>\n<p>Hollins brings four seasons of CFL experience, including 1,173 receiving yards and 937 receiving yards in his last two years with the BC Lions. Last year, he played five games and caught eight passes for 163 yards. Sterns has played three CFL seasons, two with Saskatchewan and the last with Winnipeg, where his best year produced 48 catches, 530 yards and four touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>Hollins, Sterns, and the opening<\/p>\n<p>Maas said, \u201cJe pense que c\u2019est juste de dire que ces deux gars-l\u00e0 sont en avance sur les autres\u201d. He pointed to their experience and to the way both receivers have handled camp so far, saying they have taken advantage of their chances.<\/p>\n<p>Sterns joined the Alouettes on February 10, the same day the Winnipeg Blue Bombers released him. That move has already pushed him into a meaningful spot in the battle for two receiver roles, while Kennedy III and Sutton left Tuesday\u2019s session with soreness instead of a worse outcome.            <\/p>\n<p>For Montreal, the immediate takeaway is simple: the collision stopped practice, but Maas expects both defensive backs to be back on the field. The bigger roster fight remains on offense, where the receiver race has already narrowed around Hollins and Sterns.            <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u062c\u062f\u0648\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u062d\u062a\u0648\u0649 At alouettes de montr\u00e9al camp, Robert Kennedy III and Wesley Sutton collided violently during a coverage&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":680726,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-680725","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\/680725","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=680725"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680725\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/680726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=680725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=680725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=680725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
