His absence was confirmed Friday morning during the unveiling of the Alouettes’ roster for this playoff game.
Philippe Gagnon should play a bigger role in the attack, while Sean Jamieson is back in the team against all expectations.
In addition to Lestage, Tyrell Richards, who served the Alouettes proudly on special teams, will also miss Saturday’s game.
