Lions' Reilly: 'We're super excited' for B.C. Place return. MORE:
VANCOUVER — For the first time in 656 days, the B.C. Lions will play football in front of their fans when they host the Edmonton Elks on Thursday.
The 1-1 Lions return on a high note, following a 15-9 road win over the Calgary Stampeders last Thursday. Two nights later, the Elks dropped to 0-2 after a 30-13 home loss to the Montreal Alouettes. After some post-game soreness, Reilly said he was pleasantly surprised at how quickly his elbow started feeling better.
Rookie Takeru Yamasaki beat out 25-year-old Flintoft for the starter’s job in training camp and became the first Japanese-born player to score points in the CFL. But he was released on Sunday after going 4-for-8 on field-goal attempts through his first two games, including misses of 22 and 31 yards."We have some options now with the guys we've signed, to see what they look like," Lions coach Rick Campbell said Tuesday.
When Campbell won the Grey Cup in 2016 with the Ottawa Redblacks, Elizondo served as his offensive co-ordinator. Thursday will mark the first time the pair will face each other as head coaches.
