Bethel-Thompson, Alouettes Look to Rebound versus Rourke, Lions
- The BC Lions will start Nathan Rourke at quarterback on Saturday against the Montreal Alouettes at Percival Molson Stadium to avoid a 1-4 start.
- Rourke missed the last two games due to an oblique injury suffered late in Week 2's loss to Winnipeg, while Montreal's starter Davis Alexander remains out with a hamstring injury for a second consecutive game.
- McLeod Bethel-Thompson is set to start for Montreal again after he threw for 203 yards, including one touchdown and two interceptions, completing 24 of 41 attempts in last Friday’s 35-17 defeat to Hamilton.
- Bethel-Thompson noted that with each practice, his confidence continues to grow, and Lions head coach Buck Pierce mentioned that Rourke is currently in good spirits following the latest workout.
- Rourke's return could help end the Lions' three-game losing streak as the team hopes their defense, boosted by Josh Woods' return, executes better on first downs and creates turnovers.
