The Saskatchewan Roughriders placed quarterback Zach Collaros on the six-game injured list Tuesday due to a head injury he suffered against the Ottawa Redblacks in Week 2.
“You don’t ever mess around when it’s a concussion-type situation,” Saskatchewan head coach Chris Jones said (h/t TSN). “The league has the protocol that they go through and that’s what we’ll adhere to.”
Jones announced that Canadian Brandon Bridge will start at quarterback for their next game on Saturday night against the Montreal Alouettes.
Bridge threw for 145 yards and an interception when he came in to the game to replace Collaros.
“He played OK. He did some good things and there were some plays I’m sure he and I would both want back,” Jones said. “You can’t just pinpoint one area. There’s a lot of improving that needs to go on.”
