B.C. Lions look for other players to pick up slack after linebacker Josh Woods is ruled out for remainder of the season with knee injury
Head coach and co-general manager Rick Campbell confirmed Wednesday that linebacker Josh Woods is done for the year. The 26-year-old from Ontario , Calif., went down in the first half of B.C.’s victory over the Edmonton Elks on Thursday and had to be carted off the field.
The Lions won’t be able to completely fill Woods’ hole in the lineup, Campbell said, but his teammates will come together to keep the defence strong. “We’ve been waiting to play together for three years now,” Hladik said. “We kind of came together in our first year and now we got the opportunity. But he’ll be back next year. We’ll get another chance to do it, hopefully.”
“They’re all together, they’re communicating on the field. They’re aligned right and doing what they need to do,” he said. “They’re just doing what they’re supposed to do, getting us the ball back and giving us the opportunity to go down and score with the ball. So shout-out to the defence.”
