Redblacks quarterback Trevor Harris leaves game early with apparent leg injury

OTTAWA — Redblacks quarterback Trevor Harris left Ottawa’s pre-season game against the Montreal Alouettes on Thursday night with what appeared to be an injury to his lower left leg.

Harris was injured when he was hit by Montreal linebacker Chris Ackie and was in obvious pain immediately after. Harris required assistance to get off the field and went straight to the locker room.

He returned to the sidelines in the third quarter with his pads off and changed out of his uniform.

Any extended absence would be detrimental to the Redblacks as Ottawa does not have a solid back-up in place. Dominique Davis replaced Harris for Thursday’s game.
