The Hamilton Tiger-Cats will be turning to quarterback Harrison Frost for the team\u2019s Week 16 matchup against the Montreal Alouettes, according to head coach Scott Milanovich.<\/p>\n
It marks the third start of the season for the 27-year-old arm who holds a 1-1 record as a starter in 2026. <\/p>\n
Frost entered Hamilton\u2019s Labour Day Classic matchup against the Toronto Argonauts after Canadian Tre Ford exited with a head injury. The pivot completed 16-of-28 passes for 218 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in the 37-22 loss.<\/p>\n
On the season, Frost has completed 58.8 per cent of his passes for 734 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions.<\/p>\n
Milanovich also added that Ford is cleared to play. The 28-year-old was assessed for a concussion on the sidelines of the team\u2019s Week 14 contest after seemingly hitting his head on the turf following a touchdown run. When Ford went to the locker room at half time, he had some \u201ccomplications\u201d Milanovich said to TSN\u2019s Matthew Scianitti, and the team elected to remove him from the game.<\/p>\n
In 2026, Ford has completed 63.9 per cent of his passes for 1,293 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions.<\/p>\n
The Niagara Falls, Ont. native has also recorded 419 rushing yards on 38 attempts (11.0 yards per carry).<\/p>\n
The move also comes after Milanovich ruled Week 1 starter and back-to-back Most Outstanding Player runner-up Bo Levi Mitchell out for the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe it is, I think I\u2019ve made that fairly clear five times,\u201d said Milanovich on whether Mitchell\u2019s season was over.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a nine-month injury. He\u2019s doing great; I think he\u2019s probably ahead of schedule. I wouldn\u2019t say no [to Mitchell playing in the playoffs], but realistically, we wouldn\u2019t want to put him out there and danger him. He\u2019s moving around a little bit now, but it\u2019s not on my radar at this point right now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Hamilton Tiger-Cats will be turning to quarterback Harrison Frost for the team\u2019s Week 16 matchup against the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":898189,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[712,49,48,521,522,520,74988,82],"class_list":["post-898188","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cfl","tag-apple-news","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-canadian-football-league","tag-canadianfootballleague","tag-cfl","tag-hamilton-tiger-cats-sports-football-team-team-genius-sports-83579","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/898188","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=898188"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/898188\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/898189"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=898188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=898188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=898188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
