SURREY, B.C. - The B.C. Lions announced Tuesday that quarterback Travis Lulay has been removed from the team's six-game injured list, enabling him to practise this week.
The 32-year-old pivot hurt his left knee in the Lions' 25-16 victory over the Montreal Alouettes on Sept. 3.
Backup quarterback John Beck replaced Lulay in that one and started the next two games, but suffered a pectoral muscle injury in a 35-23 loss to the Calgary Stampeders on Sept. 18.
That thrust rookie quarterback Jonathon Jennings into the starter's role for Saturday's game against the Edmonton Eskimos, which the Lions lost 29-23.
Lulay missed most of last season because of an injury to his throwing shoulder.
The Lions (4-8), who have lost three straight and five of their last six, host the Saskatchewan Roughriders (2-11) on Saturday.
