Saskatchewan Roughriders offensive guard Brendon LaBatte left the team's game against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the first quarter with an apparent left knee injury.

LaBatte was injured while blocking for a Brett Lauther field goal. He had to be helped off the field and went to the team's locker room later in the first quarter.

With no backup offensive linemen dressed, Canadian defensive tackle Eddie Steele took LaBatte's spot on the team's offensive line.
