The Ottawa Redblacks figure to be missing their starting quarterback for another week.<\/p>\n
Head coach Bob Dyce told reporters Monday that Dru Brown likely will be out for Friday’s home game against the Edmonton Elks.<\/p>\n
Brown exited in the third quarter of last week’s loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers with an apparent lower-body injury after he was hit by James Vaughters.<\/p>\n
Dustin Crum finished the game at QB for the Redblacks, nearly orchestrating a fourth-quarter comeback before the Blue Bombers won it on a walk-off field goal.<\/p>\n
Crum would be the expected starter if Dyce can’t go Friday.<\/p>\n
Dyce did say he does not expect Brown’s injury to be a long-term absence.<\/p>\n
Brown missed three games earlier this season with a hip injury and exited another game in the first quarter with an apparent head injury.<\/p>\n
The Redblacks (3-7) are third in the CFL East, but sit four points back of the B.C. Lions (5-5) for the league’s final playoff spot by virtue of the cross-over rule.<\/p>\n
Brown has thrown for 1,842 yards with 12 touchdowns and five interceptions in seven games this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ottawa Redblacks figure to be missing their starting quarterback for another week.
