Calgary Stampeders head coach Dave Dickenson remains in COVID-19 protocol and did not fly with the team to Ottawa on Thursday, according to CFL reporter Danny Austin.

Austin adds that Dickenson has a flight reservation for Friday if he gets clearance for the Week 9 matchup with the Ottawa Redblacks.

Dickenson was not at practice with the team on Wednesday.

Austin also reports that centre Sean McEwen and corner Tre Roberson have been added to the Stampeders' six-game injured list.

Running back Ka'Deem Carey was placed on the one-game injured list and will not be available for Friday's game. Dedrick Mills will get the start in place of Carey.

The Stampeders are currently 4-2 and sit third in the Western Conference.

The Redblacks picked up their first win of the season last week and are last in the Eastern Conference at 1-6.
