Hamilton Tiger-Cats quarterback Zach Collaros didn't return after injuring his knee in Saturday's contest against the Edmonton Eskimos.

Collaros stayed down on the field after he was caught from behind by Eskimos lineman Mathieu Boulay. The 27-year-old walked to the locker room under his own power and returned moments later with ice wrapped around his legs.

Collaros entered the game as the league leader in touchdowns (24), yards (3,286) and QB rating (113.2), while guiding the league's top-scoring offense. Losing Collaros for any amount of time would jeopardize the Ticats' four-point edge atop the Eastern Conference.
