The Edmonton Eskimos signed quarterback Thomas DeMarco on Wednesday, prompting questions regarding the health of starter Mike Reilly.

Reilly suffered an upper-body injury late in Edmonton’s 24-21 East Division semifinal win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Sunday. After the game, Reilly said there’d be no doubt he’d play in the division final this weekend in Ottawa.

DeMarco opened the season with Edmonton and would join quarterbacks James Franklin and Jordan Lynch on the roster Sunday should Reilly be unable to play.

DeMarco began his CFL career in 2012 with the B.C. Lions and spent two seasons with the club before being selected by Ottawa in the 2013 CFL expansion draft. DeMarco played two years with the Redblacks.
