Everything had been going fine for former Iowa quarterback Drew Tate.

He was the Calgary Stampeders' starting quarterback. He had a solid opening-game last Sunday in the Stamps' 38-10 dismantling of the Montreal Alouettes. He led Calgary to a 69-yard touchdown drive on their first possession at Toronto Saturday.

Then came the second possession. And according to a story from cbc.ca, Tate was hurt when he put his left arm down to brace himself while being hit by Toronto's Derrick Summers. He was hurt rolling out to his left to open the Stampeders' second possession when he put his left arm down to brace himself while being hit by Toronto's Derrick Summers. Tate remained down for some time before walking off the field, then to the Calgary dressing room. He was replaced by the veteran Glenn but returned to the Stampeders' sideline in the second, his left arm in a sling and ice wrapped to his left shoulder.

He has an MRI scheduled for Tuesday, but it seems a near-certainty that he'll miss significant time with a shoulder injury, either a dislocation or separation.
