James Butler Back, Greg Bell Out for Ticats
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have received some good news on the injury front, with running back James Butler returning to the lineup for their upcoming game against the BC Lions. However, the team will be without quarterback Greg Bell, who suffered an injury in the team's most recent game.
Butler's Return a Boost for Ticats Offense
Butler's return is a welcome sight for the Ticats, who have struggled offensively in recent weeks. The powerful back was a key piece of the Ticats' attack in their opening game, rushing for 70 yards and a touchdown. His presence in the backfield will provide a much-needed spark for the Ticats, who will be looking to get back on track after a disappointing loss to the Ottawa Redblacks.
Bell's Absence a Setback for the Ticats
Bell, who has started the season at quarterback for the Ticats, was injured in the Redblacks game. While the team has not disclosed the severity of the injury, his absence is a significant blow to the Ticats. With Bell out, the team will be relying on backup quarterback Dane Evans to lead the offense. Evans has shown flashes of brilliance in his limited action, but he will need to step up in a big way to fill Bell's shoes.
Looking Ahead to the Lions Game
The Ticats will be hoping to bounce back from their recent loss against the Lions, who have been one of the hottest teams in the league. The Lions are led by veteran quarterback Michael Reilly, who has been playing at an MVP level. The Ticats defense will need to be at its best to contain Reilly and the Lions' high-powered offense.
The game against the Lions will be a crucial one for the Ticats, as they look to maintain their playoff hopes. With Butler back in the fold and Evans stepping up, the Ticats will be looking to pull off an upset and get back into the win column.
