The Hamilton Tiger-Cats could be without two key performers Friday against the Ottawa Redblacks, but they haven't been ruled out yet.

Ticats head coach Kent Austin told reporters after practice Wednesday that RB Mossis Madu and DB Delvin Breaux haven't yet been ruled out for Friday.

Madu is suffering from a shoulder injury while Breaux is dealing with a lower-body injury.

The Hamilton Spectator speculates Delone Carter could take Madu's spot for the Ticats, who are also without starting running back CJ Gable.
