Jon Cornish to miss Sunday's game in Montreal because of "nagging injuries"

CALGARY - Calgary Stampeders running back Jon Cornish won't play Sunday in Montreal against the Alouettes to "help recovery from nagging injuries."

The Stampeders announced on their Twitter account Friday that Cornish will sit out.

Calgary leads the West Division standings with a CFL-best 10-1 record.

Cornish missed six games in July and August with concussion-like symptoms, but has been on a tear in the four contests since his return.

The CFL's most outstanding player and top rusher last season ranks third in league rushing with 587 in five games.
