#TIcats add DE Eric Norwood to the 6 game injured list. Was hurt in household accident last night. #CFL
When will it ever end? At least Tillman and co. found a great looking/sounding DE in Adrien Tracey to fill in for him while he recovers. According to tweets between Norwood and @oskieeddie, Eric needed to get "some stitches" last night for his mishap.
I had a double post and the site wouldn’t allow me to delete it
DP stands for double post

Drew Edwards ?@scratchingpost 1m1 minute ago #Ticats can’t use DE Adrian Tracy, who had 4 sacks in pre-season, to replace @ENorwood40 because he’s on the 1-game injured list.
Our players had better be on the lookout for meteorites ... lightning strikes ... jealous ex-girlfriends ... kids' toys left lying around ... and unexploded ordnances from WWII. Also chew their food very thoroughly before swallowing and by all means, don't step out of the shower without grabbing onto something for support!
Have I missed anything?
If only we could play games every day like they do in baseball. That seems to be the safest time for our team.
Man did someone cast an evil spell on Hamilton? Talk about injuries even outside of training camp or the game, Norwood house hold injury? Gaydosh and Watt injured even before camp, three players go down to injury outside of the field of play??
Oh well, bring in the replacements lets see what they can do.
I don’t buy this, as publicly presented. Unless the roster rules, as I’ve know them, have changed, an injury, unrelated to football (suffered “in a household accident”) would call for putting the injured player on the Disabled List, not one of the injured lists. It also looks like, in this case, the oft employed creative movement of players onto the 1-game injured list has bitten the Cats in their back side as Adrian Tracy is ineligible for Game 1.
Tracey might have been dinged up in the Winnipeg game. Austin did say in his post game interview that he didn`t think the team got out of the game totally unscathed on defense. The only one on that 1 game that I really doubt is injured is Masoli.
