REGINA — The Saskatchewan Roughriders will be without quarterback Trevor Harris for the foreseeable future. The club announced on Sunday that Harris sustained a tibial plateau fracture of his right knee midway through the fourth quarter of their game against the Calgary Stampeders. The Roughriders confirmed that Harris, 37, will undergo surgery in Regina.
5 games in and its back to square one in the rebuild for the riders
I like Harris but just dont see how he returns to form.given he will be 38 when ready next to return next year
I do see Harris as head coach material and hope.he makes that tranaition with the riders .
This may be a blessing in the end as Harris was only ever a 2-3 year plan and the riders needed to start developing a new young QB. The Riders have relied on free angency veterans instead of developing their own
For ever 1 Zack there is 9 other steuggling vets who normally turn out to be a few years.bandaid before the team starts again
This gives the riders a good run with Fine as QB to build around him and let him play … good or bad
One thing for sure the best the ridees will finish now id 4th in the west and would have to sweep Ottawa to have q chance at the cross over
Only BC , Winnipeg, Toronto and Montreal.still using the QB they started with…
Well with the way the QB’s are falling like dominoes all across the league give it some time . The way this year is turning out it’s looking like it’s open season on QB’s all around . Starters , second stringers , third stringers it doesn’t matter it seems like they all have a target on their back .
I just heard about Harris, what a shame, feel very bad for him, He had some great years when he was in Ottawa. Good luck with the rehab sir, This is one tough year to play Q.B. man.
Who do you get as a temporary third QB? No one will believe that they’ll stay on after Harris comes back or Saskatchewan gets rid of Fine or Paterson and keeps the temp.
I figure you are not a Stampeder fan but they do play in this league and are still with QB Jake Maier. And Edmonton still have QB Cornelius as their starter . Both are Alberta Teams and Alberta is still Canadian.
Hope Harris can return to form, but given his age I sure don’t want to see him rushed back this season. Likely his best chance at a comeback is to patiently rehab over the offseason.
Opportunity knocks again for Fine, though he didn’t do much with the ones he had last year. Personally I like Dolegala over Fine, and if our OL woes continue we may well see him before long.
I did miss Calgary , elks have switched it up and may continue
And not once did I suggest the Alberta teams are not in or part of Canada ……
In fact I clearly said I suspect the riders would do no better than 4th in the west …. Spoiler alert …. It’s the elks that will battle them for 4th or 5th
Winnipeg Bc and the stamps will round out the top 3
This injury is a game changer for the Riders. Being a Ti-Cat fan I have lived through a lot of QB injuries - Collaros, Masoli, Evans, Mitchell. Having your #1 out make the rest of the season that much tougher. I wish Harris all the best.
To be fair few true rookie QB’s come into the league and light it up the first couple of years as the starter
Maier does show steady improvement and skill … but he does look like the stamps future
Edmontons Cornelius so far has not shown the same level of improvement and skills. He has shown a few flashes of skill that are good but not consistent and not building in it each game
The Riders are about to find out what the upside of Fine is and if each game sees steady improvement, or will it be hit and cold like Cornelius
Ottawa may have accidentally backed into their new starter …. Here’s hoping Crum continues to improve each game
