P.J. Walker will make his first career regular-season CFL start on Thursday night when the Calgary Stampeders visit the Ottawa Redblacks. Vernon Adams Jr. has been moved to the one-game injured list.
On Tuesday, head coach and general manager Dave Dickenson indicated the team was “still holding out hope” that Adams Jr. would play. The veteran quarterback exited last week’s loss to the Montreal Alouettes late in the third quarter after scrambling for a seven-yard gain. The 32-year-old took a glancing blow to the head as he was sandwiched between linebackers Darnell Sankey and Tyrice Beverette and was pulled by the concussion spotter.
Adams Jr. has thrown for 1,913 yards, nine touchdowns, and six interceptions this season, his first in Calgary. He has also rushed for 139 yards and one score.
