Montreal Alouettes, Hamilton Tiger-Cats both make lineup changes ahead of East final

HAMILTON — The Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Montreal Alouettes both made roster moves Saturday ahead of the East Division final.

Montreal listed Canadian guard Pier-Olivier Lestage and American defensive lineman Shawn Lemon both as out for the game. No reasons were given for the moves but Lestage was a limited participant in practice this week with a neck ailment.

First-year American Des Holmes comes off the practice roster to start for Lestage at right guard. Canadian Philippe Lemieux-Cardinal shifts to take Lemon’s spot behind Canadian defensive lineman Lwal Uguak.

Receiver Hakeem Harris also comes into Montreal’s lineup from the practice roster.

Hamilton also changed its secondary as American cornerback Jonathan Moxey was listed as out. Quavian White, a first-year American, comes off the injured list to start in Moxey’s spot on the field side.
