Hamilton Tiger-Cats quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell exited his team\u2019s game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Sunday with an apparent significant lower-body injury.<\/p>\n
The injury appeared to occur early in the third quarter, when Blue Bombers defensive lineman Jake Ceresna sacked Mitchell and rolled over his leg.<\/p>\n
Mitchell immediately grabbed his left ankle and remained on the ground and was eventually taken away by ambulance.<\/p>\n
The 36-year-old pivot gave the crowd a thumbs up while he was stretchered to the ambulance and the game was delayed with the teams unable to play without an ambulance on site.<\/p>\n
Mitchell threw for 228 yards with 18 completions and a touchdown before the injury.<\/p>\n
Tre Ford came into the game in relief of Mitchell, who is getting his first action as a Tiger-Cat since he was acquired in the off-season.<\/p>\n
Mitchell has 879 passing yards with eight touchdowns and one interception in three games this season.<\/p>\n
He is in his fourth season in Hamilton and led the CFL in passing yards (5,296) last season.<\/p>\n
Mitchell is a two-time Grey Cup champion (2014, 2018) and a two-time CFL Most Outstanding Player (2016, 2018), all as a member of the Calgary Stampeders.<\/p>\n
The 6-foot-1 quarterback has 45,198 passing yards with 270 touchdowns and 129 interceptions in his 14-season career split between the Stampeders and Tiger-Cats.<\/p>\n
