Bo Levi Mitchell will get an MRI on Tuesday to figure out what is wrong with the pectoral muscle he injured in Saturday night’s game at McMahon Stadium.

The Calgary Stampeders quarterback left the 36-32 win over the BC Lions late in the fourth quarter, and depending on the severity of the injury, the team could be without the CFL’s reigning Most Outstanding Player for an extended stretch.

“Still not sure yet,” Mitchell said when he was asked Sunday about his injury. “Saw things on the ultrasound. We’ll find out, but I don’t want to speculate and jump into concerning people when I’m still not sure yet. Find out when I get the MRI and go from there.”

Mitchell fought through a torn shoulder in 2017 and played out the rest of the season but said that the pectoral muscle is a “bigger part of the muscle you’re throwing with.”

Neither Mitchell nor Stampeders head coach Dave Dickenson would speculate on the severity of the injury, but it’s possible that a torn pectoral muscle could end Mitchell’s season — New England Patriots linebacker Donta Hightower tore his pectoral in October of 2017 and was ruled out for the season.
