The BC Lions expect to regain key linebacker Solomon Elimimian and veteran kicker Paul McCallum for Thursday night’s home opener against the defending Grey Cup champion Toronto Argonauts.
The Lions (0-1) started poorly against the Stampeders in their opening round clash in Calgary on Friday, and although they managed to outscore the hosts in the second half, they still lost 44-32.
It was a frustrating game for Elimimian (ankle) to watch, and he admitted after Monday’s practice that one point he “was about to throw a couple of chairs.”
