Davis Alexander Exits Alouettes Preseason with Knee Scare, X-Rays Negative

Montreal Alouettes quarterback Davis Alexander left Friday's preseason opener against the Ottawa Redblacks with a right knee injury, but returned negative X-ray results from a hospital visit. Alexander was tackled from behind in the first quarter, sparking immediate concern for the Alouettes' franchise pivot with just two weeks before the regular season.

Elgersma Flashes Promise but Inconsistent as Bombers Fall 31–27 in Saskatoon

Winnipeg Blue Bombers backup quarterback Taylor Elgersma turned in a mixed preseason performance in the 31–27 loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders in Saskatoon. Elgersma, auditioning for the depth role behind 14-year CFL veteran Zach Collaros, showed moments of promise but struggled with consistency against a sharp Roughriders defence that forced turnovers in critical situations. Collaros, as expected, did not suit up for the preseason contest. The Bombers open the regular season June 4, but Elgersma's development at backup quarterback remains one of the most closely watched storylines in Winnipeg's camp heading into 2026.
