The B.C. Lions acquired veteran quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. from the Montreal Alouettes on Wednesday for a 2023 first-round draft pick.

Adams fills a need for B.C. (8-2). Last week, starter Nathan Rourke had foot surgery and backup Michael O'Connor was injured in last week's 23-16 loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

The Lions return to action Sept. 9 visiting Montreal. "Getting a player of Vernon's calibre provides a big boost to our offence as we continue pushing for a return to the playoffs," Neil McEvoy, the Lions' co-GM/director of football operations, said in a statement.

Adams, 29, has appeared in 67 career CFL regular-season games over the past six seasons with Montreal (2016-17, 2018-22) and Saskatchewan (2017).
