Stanback leaves season opener with lower-body injury

Montreal Alouettes RB William Stanback left the team’s season opener against the Calgary Stampeders in the second quarter with an apparent lower-body injury.

Stanback collected a handoff from Alouettes quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. near the goal line before his knee met the crown of a Stampeder helmet. 

Stanback had to be carted off the field with no word yet on his status.
