At the Montreal Alouettes training camp, an intense incident marked the conclusion of the day’s second practice session. Defensive backs Robert Kennedy III and Wesley Sutton collided violently during a coverage drill, creating a significant and unmistakable noise inside the PEPS arena at Université Laval.
Details of the Collision
During the drill, quarterback Davis Alexander delivered a precise pass into a tight coverage area. This led to both Kennedy and Sutton converging at the same point, resulting in the severe clash. Fortunately, both players emerged with minor issues, as described by head coach Jason Maas after the tenth day of the camp.
- Players involved: Robert Kennedy III, Wesley Sutton
- Location: PEPS, Université Laval
- Coach: Jason Maas
- Outcome of collision: Minor injuries, more fear than harm
Receiver Position Battles
The intensity of training also set the stage for the competition among receivers. With the first unit showcasing their performance, it appears that the race for the two available receiver spots is nearing completion.
Veterans Alexander Hollins and Jerreth Sterns are expected to join Tyson Philpot, Tyler Snead, and Cole Spieker in the starting receiver lineup. Both Hollins and Sterns bring valuable experience to the team.
Player Profiles
- Alexander Hollins: A four-season veteran with statistics of 1,173 and 937 receiving yards in his last two years with the BC Lions.
- Jerreth Sterns: Played three seasons in the league, with his best year totaling 48 receptions for 530 yards. Previously released by the Blue Bombers on February 10, he signed with the Alouettes on the same day.
This development in the Alouettes camp highlights both the physical challenges players face and the progress made in strategic placement for the season. The team’s preparation continues as they refine their roster and tackle any unforeseen incidents.
