The Calgary Stampeders listed quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell as questionable for Saturday's game against the Edmonton Elks in the team's injury report Thursday.
Mitchell took limited reps in Thursday's practice at McMahon Stadium.
The 32-year-old Texan had a foot injury, the team indicated in its daily injury report.
"He said he was a little sore, but other than that, I don't have anything to report," Stampeder head coach Dave Dickenson said following practice.
"Hopefully everything's good to go, but I expect we'll have three good options at quarterback."
Mitchell completed 28 of 42 pass attempts for 313 yards and two touchdown passes in last week's 33-30 overtime win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Calgary is 2-0 to start the CFL season. Edmonton is 0-2.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 23, 2022.
