Ticats rookie receiver Bridges says his 2024 CFL campaign is finished

Oct 4, 2024 | 12:28 PM

HAMILTON — Shemar Bridges’ stellar CFL season has come to a premature end.

Hamilton’s rookie receiver took to social media Friday to make the announcement.

Bridges didn’t provide a reason why, but he didn’t practise all week due to a thigh injury and was placed on the one-game injured list, meaning he would miss the club’s home game Friday night versus the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

The six-foot-four, 210-pound Bridges has been a big find for the Tiger-Cats. The 26-year-old native of Jacksonville, Fla., has 83 catches for 933 yards and four TDs in 15 games with Hamilton.

Bridges was poised to break the CFL’s single-season record for most catches by a first-year player.
