Idle, fresh Stampeders host battled-tested Lions in CFL’s West final
CALGARY — Amid the debate about whether three weeks between games will help or hurt the Calgary Stampeders in the CFL’s West Division final, time was a friend to one key Stampeder.
Defensive back Jamar Wall, who tops the CFL in pass knockdowns (17) and leads the Stampeders in interceptions (4), expects to be on the field Sunday against the visiting B.C. Lions at McMahon Stadium.
The 28-year-old division all-star injured his ankle in Calgary’s regular-season finale Oct. 30 in Montreal.
The Stampeders ended the season on a bye week and had another bye week by virtue of finishing first in the West at 15-2-1. Wall had time to heal and participated in his first practice since the injury Friday.
