CFL player injury reports ahead of the 112th Grey Cup
Injury Watch: Teams Gear Up for the Big Game
As the 112th Grey Cup approaches, both finalists are closely monitoring player availability — every minor tweak may tip the scales in what is expected to be a very tight match‑up.

One of the bigger storylines: Davis Alexander, quarterback for the Montreal Alouettes, is dealing with a hamstring tweak sustained in the East Final. He reportedly appeared better in practice but his mobility remains a question mark.
| Player | Position | Issue / Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| (Various) | Multiple positions | Some minor concerns flagged | The Roughriders are dealing with a few more injury‑concerns than their opponent. (CGScholar) |
| (No major starter confirmed out yet) | – | – | No definitive “out” status for primary players has been publicly confirmed at this point. |
Why it matters
In a championship game, depth matters. If key starters are limited, it forces coaches to adjust game plans.
For instance:
- If Alexander’s mobility is restricted, Montreal may have to rely more on quick passes or reduce designing plays around his movement.
- On the flip side, the Saskatchewan Roughriders will want to test him early, force him to move, and exploit any limitations.
- A player being “questionable” or “limited” can change not just the on‐field matchups but also betting lines, momentum and pre‑game mentality.
What to keep an eye on
- Daily injury reports on the CFL’s site. (cfl.ca)
- Whether Alexander is listed as “full”, “limited” or “questionable”.
- Any other major starters—offensive line, defensive backs—who are not at 100 %. Depth issues can bite late in the game.
- How each team addresses the uncertainty: Will the Roughriders attack the hamstring early? Will the Alouettes hedge by preparing alternative plays?
Bottom line
The 112th Grey Cup may well turn on which team stays healthier or better adapts to partial injuries. While both teams have earned this berth, the ones who manage the final days of preparation — physically and strategically — will have a critical edge.
