CALGARY – Calgary Stampeders quarterback Drew Tate is out for the rest of the season with a fractured right forearm.

Tate showed up to practice with a cast on his throwing arm, and it was announced he will miss Sunday’s CFL West final against B.C., and the Grey Cup if Calgary manages to advance to the title game.

Kevin Glenn will start for Calgary against the Lions in Vancouver.

Tate is coming off a resilient performance in Calgary’s CFL West semifinal.

He overcame a helmet-to-helmet hit in the first half and led the Stampeders to a 36-30 victory over Saskatchewan.
