HAMILTON — The Hamilton Tiger-Cats will be getting one of their defensive leaders back when they play the Edmonton Eskimos on Friday.

Defensive back Delvin Breaux will return to the lineup. He was placed on the six-game injured list following their Ticats’ Week 8 game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

In his first seven games in 2019, the 29-year-old has 23 tackles and a forced fumble.

Over his four years in the CFL, all with the Tiger-Cats, Breaux has accumulated 107 tackles, one sack, one interception, two touchdowns, and six forced fumbles in 46 games.

The Ticats will welcome the Eskimos to Tim Hortons Field on Friday to open Week 17. The two inter-divisional foes will kick-off at 7:00 p.m. ET.
