The Calgary Stampeders don’t know how long Cory Greenwood is going to be out.

They’d love to have a better idea, obviously. Greenwood is leading the CFL in tackles this season, after all, so he’s the sort of guy every team wants to have available.

But Greenwood’s been dealing with back issues and went for further testing on Tuesday. As head coach Dave Dickenson explained, those tests didn’t necessarily reveal anything conclusive, but his absence at Wednesday’s practice at McMahon Stadium was telling.

“He did get his tests yesterday,” Dickenson said. “The doctors are going to look at it. Didn’t sound like it was horrible results, but as you noticed, he wasn’t out there. It’s definitely putting his status in doubt. We just want him back and hopefully, we get the right word today.”

With Greenwood out, the Stampeders have been using Wynton McManis and Nate Holley in their two linebacking positions, and they’ve brought in veteran Marcus Ball to reinforce the group.
