HAMILTON – Wynton McManis’s debut with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats will have to wait.

The Ticats listed the veteran linebacker as being out for their regular-season opener Thursday night versus the Montreal Alouettes at Hamilton Stadium. 

According to the team’s injury report, McManis has a knee ailment.

McManis, 31, joined the Ticats during the off-season following four seasons with the Toronto Argonauts. 

The six-foot, 220-pound McManis helped the Argos win two Grey Cups (2022, ’24) during that span while also being named a CFL all-star twice.

The Ticats also listed American receiver Shemar Bridges (groin) as being out.
