Alouettes' Bethel-Thompson to start against Ticats with Alexander injured
HAMILTON - Montreal Alouettes quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson will replace injured starter Davis Alexander on Friday against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Alexander helped lead the Alouettes to a 3-0 start but hurt his hamstring in last week's 38-28 win over the Edmonton Elks. The 26-year-old threw for three touchdowns and 254 yards on 20-of-24 completions before exiting. Bethel-Thompson stepped in, going 6-for-8 for 77 yards as Montreal remained undefeated. The two-time Grey Cup champion joined Montreal from Edmonton in a veteran quarterback swap with Cody Fajardo. He'll get his first Alouettes start against Hamilton (0-2), which is coming off a bye.

Sokolowski/Getty Images How to Watch Edmonton Elks vs BC Lions When: Saturday, June 7, 2025 Time: 10:00 PM ET TV Channel: CBSSN Live Stream: Fubo (Try for free) For the first time since 1968, two Canadian quarterbacks—BC's Nathan Rourke and Edmonton's Tre Ford—will start against each other in a season opener. Rourke, returning from NFL stints, reclaims the Lions' offense after Vernon Adams Jr.'s departure, aiming to reignite the vertical attack that made BC one of the league's most explosive teams last year. Ford, meanwhile, is set to showcase his dual-threat abilities under new offensive coordinator Jordan Maksymic, looking to build on flashes of brilliance from previous seasons and a strong preseason. The Elks are coming off a dramatic preseason win over these same Lions, rallying in the fourth quarter for a 20-19 victory—an early sign of resilience under new head coach Mark Kilam. Edmonton's defense, anchored by tackling leaders Nyles Morgan and Nick Anderson, will be tested by BC's dynamic passing game, which averaged over 265 yards per contest last season. The Elks offense, now led by Ford and featuring emerging talents in the receiving corps, will look to exploit a Lions defense that allowed 24.4 points per game in 2024.
