Vernon Adams Jr. will be out for Calgary's game against the Tiger-Cats on Saturday. The quarterback suffered a head injury back in Week 11 ahead of the Stamps' bye last week, leaving the game in the fourth quarter after being tackled and hitting his head off the turf.
Having lost three of their last four games, the Bombers face their toughest test yet in a Week 13 matchup with the CFL-leading Alouettes tonight on TSN. The CFL on TSN panel has more on how Winnipeg can get things back on track, and what Montreal has done so well this season.
