Dru Brown will not play for the Ottawa Redblacks this week due to injury, though it doesn’t appear he will be out long term. “Matt (Shiltz) will start (this week),” head coach Bob Dyce told the media on Wednesday. “If I were to hazard a guess, I would think (Brown) could be ready for Week 3.” Brown suffered a hip injury late during the team’s season-opener against the Saskatchewan Roughriders, though he didn’t miss any snaps. The 28-year-old native of Palo Alto, Calif. completed 34-of-41 pass attempts for 413 yards and two touchdowns in the 31-26 loss in Riderville. The five-foot-eleven, 200-pound passer went 8-6-1 as a starter in 2024, his first season with the Redblacks, throwing for 3,959 yards, 18 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. He also rushed 14 times for 57 yards. #Redblacks #RNation #Ottawa #CFL #Canadian #Football
