Bethel-Thompson Cleared to Start as Alouettes Try to End Five-Game Skid

Montreal seeks stability from a CFL veteran following a 1-7 stretch without Davis Alexander.

Montreal Alouettes quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson (4) throws ball under pressure from Edmonton Elks' Robbie Smith (40), during first half CFL action in Montreal on Friday, Aug. 8, 2025.

Overview

  • Activated from the six-game injured list, McLeod Bethel-Thompson took first-team reps Tuesday and is expected to start at Saskatchewan.
  • The 37-year-old missed three games with a right elbow injury that required an injection and weeks of rehab.
  • Montreal has lost five straight, including a 26-9 defeat to Hamilton with fourth-stringer James Morgan throwing one touchdown and three interceptions over the last two starts.
  • General manager Danny Maciocia said Davis Alexander remains unavailable this week and likely next as he recovers from a hamstring injury.
  • To bolster depth, the Alouettes added quarterbacks Cameron Dukes and Shea Patterson, placed Sean Thomas Erlington on the six-game injured list, signed running back Eno Benjamin, and confirmed Caleb Evans is out for the season.
