The Montreal Alouettes will have one of their top defenders back in the lineup for Friday\u2019s matchup with the Ottawa Redblacks.<\/p>\n

Cornerback Kabion Ento is making his return after missing the last four games. In three appearances this season, he has recorded five defensive tackles.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old has been with the Alouettes for four seasons, appearing in 51 regular-season games primarily as the field-side corner. He has amassed 142 defensive tackles, eight interceptions, two forced fumbles, and a defensive touchdown, earning East Division All-CFL honours in 2024.<\/p>\n

Faion Hicks, who subbed in admirably for Ento, has been placed on the reserve roster after initially being listed as questionable due to a head injury. In four games, the former seventh-round NFL Draft pick has made four defensive tackles, as well as a game-winning forced fumble against Calgary.<\/p>\n

The Alouettes have made no other changes to their roster on a short week. American linebacker Donovan Manuel remains the only other player on the reserve roster, while the team has eight players still on the six-game injured list: American running back Stevie Scott III; Canadian fullback David Dallaire; American receiver Jerreths Sterns; Canadian offensive lineman Justin Lawrence; American offensive lineman Des Holmes; American defensive lineman David Perales; Canadian linebacker Gabriel Lessard; and American defensive back Don Callis.<\/p>\n

The Montreal Alouettes (6-1) will visit the Ottawa Redblacks (0-6) at TD Place Stadium on Friday, July 31, with kickoff scheduled for 7:30 p.m. EDT. The Alouettes knocked off the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Sunday night, while the Redblacks were on bye.<\/p>\n

The weather forecast in Ottawa calls for a high of 26 degrees and sun. The game will be broadcast on TSN and RDS in Canada, CBS Sports Network in the United States, and CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune in on TSN 690 (English) or 99.5 Montreal (French) in Montreal or TSN 1200 in Ottawa.<\/p>\n
