OTTAWA — Playoff hopes are on the line as the Ottawa Redblacks host the Montreal Alouettes on Saturday.
The Alouettes have already secured a playoff berth, but a win, coupled with a Toronto loss, would lock up a home playoff game for the defending Grey Cup champions. Meanwhile, the Redblacks are eager to clinch their first postseason appearance since 2018.
The Redblacks are facing significant personnel challenges after linebacker Adarius Pickett, the East Division's top defensive player last season, suffered a season-ending Achilles injury last weekend. With Frankie Griffin and Jovan Santos-Knox also sidelined, Ottawa will be without its entire starting linebacker group.
The Alouettes are facing their own injury challenges, as Canadian receiver Tyson Philpot has been ruled out for the season with a foot injury while veteran defensive back Marc-Antoine Dequoy will miss the game due to a head injury. Despite splitting duties between Dru Brown and Jeremiah Masoli last week the Redblacks will turn to Brown to lead the way this week.
