Hamilton Tiger-Cats quarterback Zach Collaros will miss another game with his upper-body injury suffered in Week 16 against the Calgary Stampeders.

Jeremiah Masoli, who was behind centre for Friday's slim 30-29 loss to the Ottawa Redblacks, will once again get the call this week in their rematch against Ottawa.

“He [Zach] is doing a lot better though, because as you can imagine, Zach is always doing everything in his power to get better and to improve," head coach Kent Austin told Ticats.ca. “The most important thing is his health and for him personally his career, and second, for us as an organization to do right and not push it and make sure he comes back completely healthy.”

Despite the loss, Masoli, 28, put up solid numbers against the East-leading Redblacks, throwing for 278 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions.

You can watch the rematch Friday from the nation's capital on the TSN Network starting at 7pm ET/4pm PT.

With a victory, Hamilton can clinch a playoff spot. They also clinch if the Toronto Argonauts lose against the CFL-leading Calgary Stampeders.
