Stampeders host Tiger-Cats as Dickenson eyes 100th coaching win
Calgary could get quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. and running back Dedrick Mills back from injury for Saturday's home game against Hamilton, part of a busy CFL week that also features league-leading Montreal visiting Winnipeg.
The Calgary Stampeders (4-6) host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (4-7) on Saturday afternoon with quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. and running back Dedrick Mills possibly returning after both were injured in a 30-26 loss to B.C. on Aug. 13. Adams leads the CFL in touchdown passes with 22 and holds an 8-4 career record against Hamilton. Head coach and general manager Dave Dickenson is one win away from 100 career coaching victories.
Hamilton is expected to start Canadian quarterback Tre Ford again with Harrison Frost still limited in practice by a back injury. Ford threw for 356 yards last week against Toronto, with Keric Wheatfall and Kiondre Smith his top targets.
The Calgary-Hamilton game is part of a wider CFL slate that includes league-leading Montreal (9-1), winners of seven straight, visiting Winnipeg (5-5) on Friday night. Montreal's only loss this season came against the Edmonton Elks on June 20. Toronto also visits Saskatchewan on Saturday night, looking for a second win at Mosaic Stadium this year.
