Dominick Gravel/Montreal Alouettes
LENNOXVILLE, Que. — After further testing, the Montreal Alouettes announced Wednesday evening that they don’t believe quarterback Darian Durant’s knee injury is serious.
Durant was forced out of Tuesday’s training camp session with an injured left knee but on Wednesday, an MRI all but confirmed Head Coach Jacque Chapdelaine’s suspicion that the injury isn’t a significant cause for concern.
The Alouettes issued the following statement regarding their newly-added franchise quarterback following further medical examination:
“After having undergone MRI imaging and further examination by our medical staff, it appears that Darian did not suffer a major injury. His return timetable will be evaluated on a daily basis.”
The results are encouraging for a club coming into 2017 with new expectations following a busy off-season under first-time general manager Kavis Reed.
Still, for now, the team will patiently wait Durant’s knee to heal before his return to the field.
The results of @dariandurant MRI were negative. Now it becomes a question of how he reacts to treatment, according to Jacques Chapdelaine
