REPORT: BLM TO BE PLACED ON 6-GAME INJURED LIST
From 3DownNation.com:
Calgary Stampeders quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell is going to be placed on the six-game injured list, according to Rod Pedersen.
Mitchell underwent an MRI Tuesday to determine the extent of an upper body setback suffered against B.C. on Saturday night. He left the game against the Lions late in the fourth quarter favouring his right arm, chest and shoulder area.
However a Stamps team spokesperson told TSN’s Dave Naylor that Mitchell being put on the six-game injured list is a possibility but has not been decided yet.
The Stampeders franchise quarterback wanted a second opinion on his pectoral muscle upon hearing the first opinion, so he elected to seek that assessment from Neal ElAttrache who works primarily out of Los Angeles. ElAttrache performed Tom Brady’s ACL surgery in 2008 and multiple operations on five-time NBA champion Kobe Bryant.
Mitchell played the majority of the 2017 season with tears in his throwing shoulder and elbow issues. That year he managed to throw for 4,700 yards, 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions while leading Calgary to the best record in the CFL at 13-4-1 despite the ailments.
The two-time Grey Cup champion and reigning CFL Most Outstanding Player may or may not be out for a little while.
BL {A} M!!! The Stamps have to keep the offence going because the defence lost too many star players & just isn’t getting it done. Over 70 plays/game defence is on the field. (League leading Esks allow 47/game). Allowing 300+ passing, 400+ offensive yards/game doesn’t bode well. Gotta think Riders have an edge with BLM out.
Tough break for BLM. Any chance of having him on the podcast while he’s out Rod?

Rod’s reporting has a worse feedback loop than a $20 microphone on karaoke night.
West is wide open!
