CALGARY — The Calgary Stampeders have activated star quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell from the six-game injured list.

The team made the announcement Thursday, adding Mitchell has returned to practice.

Mitchell has been out of action since suffering a pectoral injury during a game against the B.C. Lions on June 29.

The Stampeders host the Edmonton Eskimos on Monday in the annual Labour Day Classic between the Alberta rivals.
