As expected, Alouettes starting quarterback Vernon Adams will miss at least one game while he recovers from a concussion he sustained last Friday, against Ottawa.

And, while head coach Khari Jones was reluctant to talk liberally about a play that went unpenalized, some of Adams’s teammates weren’t nearly as loath, their frustration readily evident.

“I think hits like that shouldn’t be allowed in the game. The guy’s going down. There’s no need to attack a guy in the back of his head. I think it’s all BS,” said veteran tailback Jeremiah Johnson, who will become the starter should William Stanback, who sustained a lower-body injury against Ottawa, be sidelined.

It was in the third quarter that Adams sustained a helmet-to-helmet hit from Redblacks’ defensive-end J.R. Tavai. Adams gained only one yard on the play and fumbled. Tavai forced the fumble, recovered by Montreal centre Kristian Matte.
