The Ottawa Redblacks have decided to shelf their oft-injured No. 1 quarterback, Dru Brown, for the rest of the season due to being officially eliminated from playoff contention.
Backup Dustin Crum will start the upcoming game in Montreal, while Tyrie Adams will be elevated from the practice roster to second in line, ahead of Matt Shiltz.
Brown, who has started nine and finished just six of Ottawa’s 15 games, recently returned from a knee injury that kept him out for over a month.
The Redblacks faced the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Oct. 3 with their playoff hopes hanging by a thread.
