The CFL is reviewing a statement from Rose, plus the league is taking a close look at a series of events that led to the ejection of the 25-year-old Redblacks defensive back from Sunday afternoon’s 46-27 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

Rose was “disqualified” from the East Division championship game with 37 seconds left in the first half when he shoved an official. Rose had tackled Bralon Addison near the Hamilton bench, slinging the Ticats receiver out of bounds. After being shoved by Hamilton’s Terrell Davis, Rose charged forward toward the pile and put his hands on the official, knocking him backward. He was penalized for unnecessary roughness (a 15-yard penalty), he was kicked out of the game (another 15 yards) and could have also been called for grabbing the facemask of a Hamilton player.
