Montreal Alouettes quarterback Davis Alexander says he “tweaked” his hamstring in the fourth quarter of the Alouettes’ 19-16 Eastern Final win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, according to TSN’s Matthew Scianitti.

Alexander also mentioned it doesn’t feel the way it felt when he injured the same hamstring earlier in the season, and that “there is no way I’m not playing” in next week’s Grey Cup.

The 27-year-old pivot is yet to lose as a starter in the CFL, boasting a staggering 13-0 record to begin his career.

In the Eastern Final, Alexander finished 19-of-26 passing for 210 yards with a touchdown and interception, while rushing seven times for a team-high 64 yards.

In his postseason debut last week, the Gig Harbor, Wash. native completed 24-of-34 passes (70.6 per cent) for 384 yards, while adding a touchdown through the air and on the ground.

Alexander only played in seven games in the regular season, missing time with an injury to the same hamstring.

The 5-foot-11 gunslinger finished the year completing 72.5 per cent of his passes for 2,024 yards, 10 touchdowns, and only three interceptions.
