HAMILTON — The Hamilton Tiger-Cats will get an experience boost at the quarterback position when they travel to Ottawa to face the REDBLACKS.
Veteran pivot Bo Levi Mitchell has been activated from the six-game injured list and will start on Friday for the Ticats, the team announced via depth chart on Thursday.
Mitchell has been out of the lineup since sustaining a lower body injury in the Tiger-Cats’ game against the Toronto Argonauts in Week 2. Quarterback Matthew Shiltz started for Hamilton in his absence, but suffered an injury of his own in Week 6 against the Edmonton Elks and was also placed on the six-game injured list.
Rookie Taylor Powell got his first CFL start in Week 7 in the home loss to the Argos.
