Elks' Ford leaves game early vs. Stampeders

Edmonton Elks starting quarterback Tre Ford left Thursday's contest against the Calgary Stampeders early and did not return. 

The 24-year-old first-round pick in the 2022 CFL Draft suffered a blow to his throwing shoulder in the first half and was seen wearing a sling on the sideline. 

The University of Waterloo product completed two-of-three passing for 52 yards. 

Nick Arbuckle assumed the duties under centre. 

The team has not yet commented on his status going forward.
