The Ottawa Redblacks have reached out to McLeod Bethel-Thompson about a potential return to the CFL.
According to a league source, Ottawa has made an inquiry to the veteran quarterback. On Saturday night, incumbent Jeremiah Masoli suffered a season-ending ruptured left Achilles tendon injury in the Redblacks 21-13 road loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats .
Masoli was playing a year to the day after suffering a season-ending right leg injury during a game versus the Saskatchewan Roughriders. During that 17-game span, the Redblacks were 5-12. Crum almost put Ottawa in a position to force overtime. He had a 19-yard run on the game's final play but was stopped a yard short of the endzone on a tackle by Hamilton's Chris Edwards.Masoli was taking over starting duties from sophomore Tyrie Adams, who suffered a season-ending knee injury while leading Ottawa past the Edmonton Elks 26-7 on June 30.
That earned Toronto a Grey Cup berth against heavily favoured Winnipeg. Bethel-Thompson was 15-of-28 passing for 203 yards before suffering a dislocated right thumb late in the fourth quarter. But according to the source, a return to Canada "would have to be right" for Bethel-Thompson and his family. The source added Ottawa hasn't been the only CFL club to reach out to Bethel-Thompson but wouldn't identify the other teams.
