Published
BC Lions backup quarterback Dane Evans suffered a back injury in warmup and did not play in Friday's 37-29 victory over the Edmonton Elks Friday night.
Evans was listed second on the Lions' QB depth chart coming into the matchup behind Vernon Adams Jr. and ahead of Dominique Davis. Davis did not play Friday either as Adams threw for 265 yards and two touchdowns.
The 29-year-old Evans has played in 12 games this season, throwing for 662 yards with three touchdowns compared to three interceptions. He's also rushed three times for 14 yards.
The Tulsa Golden Hurricanes prospect spent his entire five-year CFL career with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats prior to joining the Lions this season.
BC (10-4) matched the Winnipeg Blue Bombers for the best record in the West Division with Friday's win.
