Late Monday night the Alouettes announced veteran guard Scott Flory will miss the remainder of the season with a complete bicep tear.
Now, at the age of 37, there will be immediate speculation that his career is over.
Flory went for an MRI on Monday. The results, as expected, weren’t good.
“Injuries are a part of sports and, unfortunately, Scott sustained a fluke one,” general manager Jim Popp stated in a release. “Scott has been an institution at right guard for our team and the CFL. He’ll be missed on the playing field, but not forgotten.”
Flory will undergo surgery, perhaps as early as Thursday of this week, Popp indicated.
Flory suffered the injury during the third quarter of Montreal’s loss against Calgary.
Flory’s in his 15th Canadian Football League season and has proven durable over the course of his career, starting every regular-season contest over the last 12 years. He has dressed for 243 regular-season games, second among active players, behind quarterback Anthony Calvillo.
Flory, who has won three Grey Cups with Montreal, was the league’s outstanding lineman twice. He has been named a league all-star nine times. He’s a native of Regina.
