Alouettes say QB Fajardo will once again be a game-time decision against Redblacks
By Daniel Rainbird, The Canadian Press on August 15, 2023.
Montreal Alouettes head coach Jason Maas says quarterback Cody Fajardo will once again be a game-time decision ahead of Saturday’s meeting with the Ottawa Redblacks. Fajardo missed his first game Friday against his former team, the Saskatchewan Roughriders, due to a left shoulder injury sustained a week prior against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He was a game-time decision and warmed up before the game, but backup Caleb Evans ultimately started, with Davis Alexander serving as QB No. 2. The Alouettes won 41-12 at home. On Tuesday, all three quarterbacks took reps. Fajardo was in full uniform and appeared to throw the ball without any issues. However, during a drill where quarterbacks threw to each other, Fajardo needed the help of offensive coordinator Anthony Calvillo to catch the ball for him. Fajardo says he feels much better this week but won’t know if he’s ready to play until he goes through his pre-game routine on Saturday.
