Head coach Rich Campbell is confident Vernon Adams Jr. will start against the Edmonton Elks. Adams' health is a bit guarded, but he practiced with an abdominal injury. The Lions face the Elks on Thursday at BC Place Stadium. Adams leads the CFL with 1,038 yards, six touchdowns, and just one interception.

One player to watch is Lions wide receiver Alexander Hollins, who had an impressive game against the Blue Bombers. With 23 catches for 402 yards, Hollins leads the league in receiving yards and touchdowns. The Lions will be without Canadian linebacker Ben Hladik, who leads the CFL with 25 tackles.

The Elks, led by head coach Chris Jones, are looking to turn their season around despite two heartbreaking losses. Both teams are gearing up for a close game, with the Lions focusing on a quick turnaround while the Elks aim for their first win of the season.
