Lions take 1st step to see if Travis Lulay can return for playoffs

VANCOUVER - The B.C. Lions have taken the first step towards discovering whether there is any chance injured quarterback Travis Lulay will return for the playoffs.

They placed him on the club's 46-man roster Monday, making him eligible to practice this week.

The Lions take on the Montreal Alouettes in the Eastern semifinal on Sunday.

Coach Mike Benevides has said whether Lulay plays or not depends on how he performs in practice, but it's a longshot and Kevin Glenn is the likely starter.

Lulay hurt his shoulder Sept. 5, his first start in almost a year after returning from a shoulder injury that sidelined him in 2013.
