Lawler, 28, has 56 catches for 849 yards, good for third in the league. Last year’s league-leading receiver, Lawler also has five touchdowns for the Elks, after joining the team in the winter as a free agent.
He’s coming off of a three-catch, 146-yard performance last week against Ottawa, providing a couple of spectacular highlights for the team in its 25-18 loss.
The Elks travel to Calgary to face the Stampeders on Labour Day at 4:30 p.m. ET.
