B.C. Lions News Release


(Vancouver) The BC Lions Football Club announced this morning that quarterback Travis Lulay has elected to forego surgery and will continue to rehabilitate his right throwing shoulder.

Lulay suffered a shoulder dislocation on Friday, September 5 versus the Ottawa REDBLACKS in the game's final moments and was subsequently placed on the club's six-game injured list.

"I have considered all options with our team doctors, physiotherapists and training staff and at this point, I am very encouraged with my rehabilitation to date," said Lulay. "Having been in this position last year, I am cautiously optimistic that I can return to action before the end of the regular season."

Lulay suffered the initial dislocation last season on September 15th against the Montreal Alouettes, but returned to action in the final week of the regular season and was the Lions' starting quarterback in the Western Semi-Final.

Following the 2013 season, Lulay elected to have surgery which was intended to increase the stability of his shoulder. The dislocation suffered in Ottawa this month put him on a similar rehabilitation timetable as the original injury last year.

"We believe Travis will be able to return to action in coming weeks," said VP of football operations and GM Wally Buono. "At this time, he is set to come off the six-game injured list with two regular season games remaining on our schedule with a bye-week in mid-October also providing some additional recovery time."
