Alouettes place Mack on six-game injured list one week after return to CFL
Published
The Montreal Alouettes announced Thursday that wide receiver Austin Mack has been placed on the six-game injured list with an ankle injury he suffered in practice on Wednesday.
This unfortunate move comes just one game into Mack's return to the CFL.
The 27-year-old tried to make a move to the NFL this season, but was cut from the Atlanta Falcons' roster on Aug. 13.
He caught three passes for 32 yards in the Als' 21-17 victory over the Edmonton Elks last weekend.
Mack had 78 catches for 1,154 yards in 2023, along with four touchdowns and was a featured piece of the Alouettes’ squad that captured the 110th Grey Cup.
Mack joins a number of talented receivers on the team’s injured list. Tyson Philpot, Kaion Julien-Grant and Tyler Snead are all currently on the six-game injured list.
Montreal returns to action against the BC Lions on Friday, riding a five-game winning streak and holding a 2.5-game lead for the East Division title at 10-1.
