#BCLions release rookie QBs Grant Hedrick (Boise State), Aaron Wilmer (Delaware Valley) and linebacker Terrance Bullitt (Texas Tech).

It’s Travis Partridge, Greg McGhee and Jon Jennings basically behind Travis Lulay and John Beck. UBC transfer Michael O’Connor will be on coffee duty, if the Lions use him as they did Jordan Yantz two years ago.

@EdlundEric Lulay looks good. You'd think it was 2013 again, before he wrecked his shoulder.

#BCLions backup QB John Beck misses first day of training camp (undisclosed illness). No timetable for his return, says HC Jeff Tedford.

Scott Mitchell - Stamps

Every time you turn around, WR Dan Buckner is making another play … Same thing with WR Kamar Jorden … Same with WR Greg Wilson … The Stamps have too many receivers and not enough spots …

QB Mike Reilly is two days into his return from a broken foot and Jones says he doesn’t look like he was ever hurt. - Edmonton Sun

There are #CFL officials at #Ticats training camp this morning. Will help with new rules interpretation. #CFLTC

It's so cold at Eskimos training camp this morning that the balls are deflating on their own.

Here's something along the lines we want for a TC report. From Drew Edwards (of course)

 

• the team is starting to make the transition towards preparing for Monday’s exhibition game against Ottawa. The personnel groupings on offence and defence are more fluid with players being shuttled in and out of the line up during the team sessions. The first pre-season game is primarily about evaluation so I would expect a number of the big names to see limited action or to sit altogether.

• defensive tackle Brian Bulcke went down during one-on-one sessions and spent the last part of the session sitting on the trainer’s table with a bag of ice on his knee. If he’s down for any period of time, the Ticats are suddenly and improbably thin at Canadian defensive tackle behind Ted Laurent. That’s because Linden Gaydosh, Mike Atkinson, Hasan Hazime and Evan Gill are all hurt as well. That said, Atkinson should be back soon.

• Jeff Mathews was the No. 2 quarterback today, after Jacory Harris took the back up reps yesterday. That will be a position to watch on Monday.

• good battle developing at the offensive tackle spot between Brian Simmons, Jake Olson and Joel Figueroa with Jeremy Lewis in the mix as well.

• players not practicing today: RB Mossis Madu and DT Atkinson. DE Arnaud Gascon-Nadon did drills but little to no team work. The rest (Hazime, Anthony Woodson, Antonio Coleman) are still in the rehab phase. No sign of S Neil King.

• Former Ticats and Argos linebacker (and current University of Toronto defensive coordinator) Kevin Eiben was at camp today.

• there are CFL officials again today and receiver Bakari Grant was flagged for offensive pass interference during a one-on-one drill. “They won’t call that in a game,” he protested. Yes, they will. That said, I think there were less flags today as players are making the adjustment to the new rules.
