Injuries loom over Hamilton Tiger-Cats ahead of battle with B.C. Lions
VANCOUVER — The CFL’s second-leading receiver won’t be in the lineup when the Hamilton Tiger-Cats face off against the B.C. Lions on Saturday.
Brandon Banks’ groin strain is the latest in a laundry list of ailments affecting the Ticats’ (6-6) receiving squad as the team battles for a playoff position.
The Lions (5-6) have also been plagued by injuries this year, and will be without their starting quarterback Travis Lulay for Saturday’s contest.
Hamilton head coach June Jones said Friday that Banks didn’t make the trip out to Vancouver, but was listed on the team’s depth chart because he’s a “game-day decision.”
