Lions QB Travis Lulay leaves early with injury for second week in a row

MONTREAL — B.C. Lions quarterback Travis Lulay has been knocked out of action for the second week in a row.

Lulay was tackled by Montreal Alouettes defensive end John Bowman on his team’s opening drive in the first quarter of Friday’s game in Montreal and headed to the locker-room with what appeared to be a left arm/shoulder injury.

He didn’t return for the second half.

The 34-year-old also left last week’s 26-14 home win over Ottawa in the second quarter after taking a hit from Redblacks defensive lineman J.R. Tavai.

Lulay was put into concussion protocol and sat the rest of the night, although he told media post-game he could have returned in the fourth quarter if needed.
