The Hamilton Tiger-Cats announced Sunday that wide receiver Brandon Banks will miss the remainder of the 2018 season with a broken clavicle, suffered early in the fourth quarter of Friday’s 35-31 loss to the Ottawa Redblacks at TD Place Stadium in Ottawa.
Through Week 19, Banks ranks tied for first in the Canadian Football League with teammate Luke Tasker in receiving touchdowns (11) and second in receptions (94) and receiving yards (1,423). This season, Banks set a new club record for the most 100-plus yards receiving games in a single season with 10, eclipsing Tony Champion’s eight, which held up as the franchise’s all-time high since 1989. Banks’ 94 receptions and 1,423 receiving yards in 2018 both rank fifth in a single season in Ticats history.
The Ticats’ next home game is scheduled for Saturday, October 27 at 4 p.m. at Tim Hortons Field against the Redblacks. Tickets for Hamilton’s final two regular season games and the home playoff game at Tim Hortons Field can be purchased at www.ticats.ca/tickets or 905-547-CATS (2287).
