Haggerty, Kent, Callis receive suspensions following Montreal-B.C. game
The CFL has suspended B.C. Lions defensive back Josh Haggerty for two games and Montreal Alouettes defensive backs Don Callis and Ronald Kent Jr. for one game each following a violent incident during their September 15th game. Haggerty struck Montreal's Liam Talbot twice in the groin area during the third quarter, causing the 23-year-old player to undergo surgery.
Talbot was subsequently placed on Montreal's six-game injury list, likely ruling him out for the remainder of the season. The altercation erupted after Lions defensive back Cristophe Beaulieu fumbled the ball, which was later ruled a touchdown for the Alouettes due to Stevie Scott III being down by contact before he recovered. Beaulieu was then hit by Montreal receiver Tyson Philpot after the ball went out of bounds, leading to Callis confronting Philpot from behind.
Kent was penalized for inciting the fight, while Callis was suspended for leaving the bench and striking B.C. defensive back Deontai Williams.
