James Morgan
Solid in emergency duty Saturday
Morgan took over for an injured Caleb Evans (knee) with 9:13 remaining in the second quarter of the Alouettes' 36-18 loss to the Lions on Saturday night, completing 20 of 33 passes for 211 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
ANALYSIS
Evans took a sack on the first play of the second quarter that apparently led to the injury, and Morgan performed admirably considering the circumstances. The 2020 fourth-round pick of the NFL's Jets was officially making his CFL debut since he didn't see any regular-season game action for Montreal during his five-game stay with the team in 2024, and Morgan was able to distribute the ball to eight different targets while also connecting with Tyler Snead for a 16-yard touchdown with 3:30 remaining. Morgan, who also saw time with the USFL's Pittsburgh Maulers in 2023, could be called on to start Thursday's home matchup against the Blue Bombers with the short turnaround and Davis Alexander (hamstring) still likely to be sidelined.
