TORONTO — Montreal Alouettes quarterback Caleb Evans and defensive lineman Shawn Lemon have been fined by the CFL for their celebrations in a 23-22 loss to the Edmonton Elks on Friday.

Evans was punished for pretending to fire a weapon after one play.

Lemon’s violation was less specific, but the CFL says he brought the league into disrepute through a celebration.

The CFL does not announce the amounts of player fines.

Montreal (5-4-0) is second in the CFL East and visits the B.C. Lions on Saturday.
