Redblacks might add top defender Frye to lengthy IR list
Article content Two silver linings surround the dark cloud that could take one more important player out of the Ottawa Redblacks lineup this week. Article content First off, at least it's not another Canadian. Article content Article content Secondly, there's another solid replacement ready to step in for him. Article content The next man down could be cornerback Adrian Frye, who has been a limited participant in practice the last two days because of a knee injury. Article content Article content If the CFL had a Defensive Player of the First Three Games award, Frye would likely be the East Division nominee up against Saskatchewan's Jameer Thurman. Article content Article content Along with having three times the number of forced fumbles as anyone else in the league, he has a recovery of his own and 13 defensive tackles, tied for second-most on the Redblacks. Article content Should the 26-year-old former Texas Tech Red Raider be unable to suit up for Sunday night's home tilt against the Toronto Argonauts, he will be replaced at the strong-side corner spot by Alijah McGhee, who would come off IR to make his 2025 debut. One of the best training camp battles in Kingston featured Frye and McGhee, who held down the starting strong-side corner job through most of last season. Article content 'Adrian's a tough guy, and he wants to get out there, so he pushed it a little more today than he did yesterday,' head coach Bob Dyce said Thursday after his team's practice. 'So we'll see what happens after day three.' Article content Article content Last Saturday in Calgary, the Redblacks' injury lists carried 14 players, including 11 on the one-game. Particularly taxing is that they were missing 10 Canadians. Article content Expect that Ottawa will have to deal with a similar scenario when hosting the 0-3 defending Grey Cup champs — and for Dustin Crum to make his second consecutive start at quarterback. Article content Dru Brown wore pads and threw passes on the sidelines at Thursday's practice, but Crum was once again taking first-team reps. Article content Dyce could offer no timetable for Brown to return from a hip injury he suffered late in the season opener.
