The extent of Mike Reilly's wrist injury remains unclear, but the Edmonton Eskimos quarterback doesn't seem too worried about it.

Reilly went down in the fourth quarter of Edmonton's win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Sunday and wasn't able to return. Following the game, the signal-caller was confident he'd be ready for next week's Eastern final against the Ottawa RedBlacks.

"I have no doubt I'll play in Ottawa, I've played through way worse than whatever this is," Reilly said afterwards, according to Marshall Ferguson of TSN.

If Reilly can't go, James Franklin would likely get the call as the starter against the RedBlacks. Franklin was impressive when starting last week against the Toronto Argonauts while Reilly got the day off, throwing for 335 yards and four touchdowns.
