Tiger-Cats' Collaros to start Saturday barring any setbacks

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats will have their starting quarterback back Saturday.

Zach Collaros is scheduled to start against the BC Lions barring any setbacks with his injured knee, head coach Kent Austin announced Tuesday.

The signal-caller went down last September with a torn ACL, forcing him out of the rest of the regular season and playoffs. When healthy, Collaros has established himself as one of the premier passers in the game, throwing for more than 3,300 yards and 25 touchdowns in a shortened 2015 campaign.

Hamilton's offence has been inconsistent thus far this season minus Collaros, managing only 11 points in its most recent outing, a loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
