Hamilton Tiger-Cats quarterback Dane Evans left Sunday's Grey Cup game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers with an injury and did not return.

Evans did not come out with his team to start the second half and was ruled out in the third quarter. Winnipeg went on to defeat the Tiger-Cats 33-25 in overtime to seal their second consecutive Grey Cup victory.

Evans appeared to sustain the injury with just over seven minutes to go in the second quarter on an awkward tackle by Jackson Jeffcoat after a scramble. The Ticats did not say what the specific injury to Evans is.

Jeremiah Masoli replaced Evans under centre for Hamilton, who trailed Winnipeg 7-0 at the time of Evans' injury.
