Tre Ford is out and McLeod Bethel-Thompson is in at starting quarterback for the Edmonton Elks on Saturday in Hamilton, the Canadian Football League team announced Friday.
Ford, who started the last two Elks games — both wins, their only two of the 2024 season so far — left last weekend’s game against the visiting B.C. Lions with an injury.
Bethel-Thompson is listed as the starter on the Elks’ depth chart for Saturday’s game (5 p.m. MT) against the host Tiger-Cats (2-7), with Dakota Prukop and Justin Doege backing him up, while Ford is listed as ‘out.’
In Sunday’s 33-16 Elks win over the Lions, Bethel-Thompson completed 14 of 18 passes for 171 yards while throwing for a touchdown and an interception after replacing Ford, who had gone six-for-six passing for 96 yards, in the second quarter.
