Back on the football field and practising after spending time on the six-game injured list, Ottawa Redblacks linebacker Kyries Hebert was asked Monday if he was 100 per cent. Was he healthy?

To illustrate, Hebert pulled off his jersey and asked, “How does my health look? I’m going to take a step back so you can have a better look?”

Hebert played for the Montreal Alouettes for six Canadian Football League seasons before signing with the Redblacks as a free agent during the off-season.

Sure enough, Montreal will be in town Friday for Ottawa’s next game.

“We put him on the six-game list, but we can pull guys off that (early),” Redblacks head coach Rick Campbell said. “He seems to be fully rested and ready to go. We wanted to get him out here practising and see how he does. So far he looks pretty good. Our full intention is to play him unless he has some kind of setback. The idea would be, as long as he goes through practice this week and is feeling good, then he’ll go.”
