EDMONTON — Jamie Elizondo is making a quarterback change.

The Edmonton head coach told reporters Monday rookie Taylor Cornelius will make the start Friday when the Elks (2-6) host the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (8-1).

Elizondo also said veteran Dakota Prukop will be Edmonton’s backup.

That means incumbent Trevor Harris won’t play for Edmonton.

Harris returned to Edmonton’s active roster last week after missing two contests with a neck injury.
