The city of Montreal and the province of Quebec held their collective breaths when Alouettes starting quarterback Davis Alexander was forced to exit Friday\u2019s preseason game against Ottawa because of a knee injury.<\/p>\n
Alexander left Percival Molson Stadium briefly to get further imaging on his knee, but the results showed that he avoided a serious injury.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m good,\u201d Alexander said after the game. \u201cI got x-rays that came back 100 percent clean. It was just precautionary. If it was a regular season game, I would\u2019ve stayed in the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve never been landed on like that before. My leg was kind of straight and a big boy kind of fell on top. It was interesting, but it\u2019s all good.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Alexander missed 10 regular season games with a hamstring injury in 2025 but still managed to lead the Als to the Grey Cup game. The 27-year-old reaggravated the injury in the championship game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders. He came into this year\u2019s training camp 100 percent healthy.<\/p>\n
Injury aside, it would\u2019ve been surprising to see Alexander or most other veterans play in next week\u2019s exhibition finale in Ottawa.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s expected to next suit up in Hamilton in Week 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The city of Montreal and the province of Quebec held their collective breaths when Alouettes starting quarterback Davis…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10346,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194292],"tags":[49,48,2338],"class_list":["post-688723","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-montreal","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-montreal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/688723","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=688723"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/688723\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=688723"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=688723"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=688723"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
