The bye week may have come at the perfect time for the Calgary Stampeders. <\/p>\n
Both starting quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. and star running back Dedrick Mills were injured in Calgary’s Week 11 loss to the B.C. Lions. <\/p>\n
But with a bye in Week 12, the extra time off may allow Adams and Mills to avoid missing Saturday’s Week 13 game against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. <\/p>\n
Adams and Mills both left against the Lions in the fourth quarter and didn’t return. <\/p>\n
“Both are going to be like head injuries,” Dickenson said after the game. “Those can last a long time. You don’t know when they’re going to be healthy.”<\/p>\n
If Adams or Mills have to miss any time, it would be a big blow to the Stamps as they fight for a playoff spot in the West Division. <\/p>\n
Adams leads the league with 22 touchdown passes, while Mills sits fourth in rushing yards with 756. <\/p>\n
Calgary enters Saturday’s game against Hamilton last in the West with a 4-6 record, but is just two points back of both Winnipeg (5-5) and B.C. (5-5). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The bye week may have come at the perfect time for the Calgary Stampeders.
