MONTREAL - The Montreal Alouettes signed quarterback Cameron Dukes and placed McLeod Bethel-Thompson on the six-game injured list on Wednesday.
Dukes arrives in Montreal after playing two seasons with the Toronto Argonauts before he was cut from training camp this year.
The 27-year-old American completed 143 of 199 passes for 1,444 yards and seven touchdowns while rushing for 321 yards and four majors while filling in for suspended QB Chad Kelly in 2024.
Bethel-Thompson will miss time with a hurt right elbow, joining starter Davis Alexander (hamstring) on the injured list.
The 37-year-old Bethel-Thompson, acquired for Cody Fajardo from the Edmonton Elks last off-season in a QB swap, has completed 100 of 153 passes while throwing four TDs and five interceptions this season.
He has a 1-4 record for the 5-4 Alouettes, who have struggled without Alexander in the lineup. The Alouettes switched to third-string quarterback Caleb Evans in the second half of last week's 23-22 loss to Edmonton.
