Montreal Alouettes wide receiver Tyson Philpot exited Saturday's game against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the first quarter with a lower-body injury.

The 24-year-old did not return to action as the Alouettes improved to 8-1 on the season with a 33-23 victory. 

After the win, Philpot was seen wearing a walking boot on his left foot, according to Herb Zurkowsky of the Montreal Gazette. 

Zurkowsky adds that an MRI will determine the extent of the injury. 

Philpot had just completed a four-yard catch 10 minutes into the opening quarter when he was hit by Tiger-Cats defensive back Richard Leonard and was favouring his ankle.

The 6-foot-1 wide receiver has 779 receiving yards with five touchdowns on 58 receptions this season.
