EDMONTON -- Edmonton Eskimos quarterback Mike Reilly said Tuesday he will start Saturday against Saskatchewan, and dismissed suggestions the team rushed him back too quickly last week from a concussion.

"Being a competitor and a guy that loves the game and tries to play with as much passion as you can, you dont ever want to come off the field," Reilly said after practice at Commonwealth Stadium. "But at the same time, Im not an idiot. Ive looked at what has happened to guys that have come back too early (from concussions). Ive seen the newspaper articles about guys committing suicide, having issues with concussions down the road. "As much as I love this game, Im not going to put myself in a bad position." Reilly was concussed on Sept. 28 when he took a pile-driving helmet-to-helmet blow to the back of his head against the Toronto Argonauts. Four days later, he was cleared to practice, and three days after that he was starting against the Montreal Alouettes, despite criticism from fans and media that he was being rushed back in a futile attempt to salvage a lost season. Those fears were stoked when the Eskimos ran essentially a Reilly-lite offence in the loss to Montreal, abandoning his successful scrambling style to keep him in the pocket to throw quick "one steamboat" passes and avoid contact. Reilly said he understood the skepticism, but said a battery of tests from Eskimo and third-party doctors convinced him he was OK. "It was just very difficult for people to really believe that within seven days I was ready to play," he said. "Im not going to put my career in jeopardy for one game. "But if Im ready to play -- and I knew that I was -- and all the proper protocols were passed and Im medically cleared to play, then Im not going to take myself off that field because that sends the wrong message about the way that I play. "It (also) sends the wrong message to my teammates and to the fans that weve given up -- and thats simply not the case." The 3-11 Eskimos need to win their last four games and have Montreal lose their last four to win a cross-over playoff spot. Reilly was 13 for 21 for 180 yards and two interceptions before he was pulled at halftime against Montreal, with the Eskimos down 31-3. After the game, both Reilly and head coach Kavis Reed admitted to reporters the playbook was altered to keep Reilly away from contact. "We wanted to be very careful in how we used him and managed the game that way," said Reed at the time. "Play-calling wise we wanted to make certain we didnt put him in a situation where he was exposed to protection breakdowns, like running the football and all those things." On Tuesday, however, Reed denied the game plan was adjusted to specifically keep Reilly out of harms way. "We made certain that we had a game plan that the ball was going to come out quickly from Mikes hand because we were playing a high-pressure defence," said Reed. "I said that we did things to get the ball out of (Reillys) hands quickly and to be responsible with our quarterback," he added when asked if he was misinterpreted by reporters. "That was the game plan. (It was) not because of concussion." Regardless, "One Steamboat" Reilly is no more. The quarterback confirmed from here on out the plan will be for him to roam, scramble and improvise. Football doesnt work any other way, he said. "If were going to design plays around the possibility of me getting hurt, I may as well just not play anymore," he said. "Every time you set foot on that field you understand youre at risk from an injury. But if youre playing with that in mind, you arent going to be effective in this league." Bla...

Harris Jersey .C. -- Rams coach Jeff Fisher says quarterback Sam Bradford will have an MRI on his left knee Sunday night after the team lands in St. SANDY, Utah -- Brian Rowe faced a hostile environment in his MLS debut. It did not seem to faze the Los Angeles Galaxy goalkeeper. Mike Magee and Charlie Rugg scored early in the first half and Rowe picked up the shutout to lead the Galaxy to a 2-0 victory over Real Salt Lake on Saturday night. Rowe became the first goalkeeper to earn a clean sheet in his MLS debut for the Galaxy (4-1-2) since Brian Perk in a 0-0 draw against Seattle on July 4, 2011. "I was glad we were able to get two early goals," Rowe said. "I settled in a little bit and made that first save. It just felt comfortable and natural after that." Rowe faced an onslaught of shots from Salt Lake. RSL had eight shots on goal and created 20 shots overall. Nothing came of the attack, however, because Rowe made big saves from start to finish. "Outstanding," Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said. "Theres no other way to put it. We thought coming into the game he was a good goalkeeper. However, he had no experience in the league. Youre always concerned about the early minutes of the game. He looked pretty composed right from the start." Magee scored on a header in the sixth minute. Juninho fed him a cross off a free kick into the centre of the box and Magee put a perfect touch on the pass as he headed it inside the right post. Rugg scored in the 13th minute when Hector Jimenez found him in front of the goal on a cross from the right flank. Rugg outraced an RSL defender to the ball and simply tapped it in for the easy goal. The quick goals felt a little deceptive to Magee because the Galaxy had to work hard the rest of the way to hold onto the lead. "This is a game you definitely prepare a little better for," Magee said. "It was by no means an easy game. This is probably the most sore most of us will be all year." Salt Lake (3-4-2) has twice allowed goals in the first 15 minutes of a match thiss season after not allowing a goal to an MLS opponent in the first 15 minutes of a match a year ago.

RSL and the Galaxy combined to score 20 goals over the last five meetings between the two clubs before Saturday night. Digging out of the early two goal hole proved difficult for Salt Lake without its top two goal scorers. Usual starting forwards Alvaro Saborio and Robbie Findley were sidelined by injuries. Saborio sat out with a left quad strain, while Findley missed the game because of a left adductor strain. Injuries also had a major impact on Los Angeles. Four regular starters -- Landon Donovan, Carlo Cudicini, Rbbie Keane and Todd Dunivant -- missed the game. Donovan and Cudicini sat out with right leg strains, Dunivant was sidelined with left leg strain and Keane was out with a left ankle strain. It marked the seventh straight game the Galaxy used a different starting lineup. "They had their top scorers out, too," RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando said. "No excuses at all. They managed to score without their top forwards. Why cant we?" RSL dominated possession throughout the first half and well into the second half. It allowed the team to create plenty of scoring chances, but Salt Lake could not turn them into goals. A painful miss came during the 59th minute. Javier Morales nearly got Salt Lake on the board when he latched onto a cross from Tony Beltran and fired the ball down the centre of the box. His shot was a bit too high and clipped the crossbar. Salt Lake had another shot at avoiding the shutout four minutes into stoppage time. Olmes Garcia hit the crossbar with one shot and Morales hit the post with another, but that is as close as it got for RSL. In the end, Salt Lake just couldnt do enough to undo its awful start. "They just came out with the better 15 minutes and it ended up costing us the game," RSL midfielder Kyle Beckerman said. ' ' '
