Fajardo has played backup to Tre Ford through the team’s first five games of the season. He’s seen action in all contests, however, serving as the Elks’ short yardage quarterback. The veteran has scored four touchdowns on the ground as well as a passing major in Week 6 against BC when he replaced Ford late in the contest.
Ford has thrown 984 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions so far this season.
The Elks are looking to improve on their 1-4 record when they head to Mosaic Stadium in Regina on Friday Night Football. Kickoff is 9:00 p.m. ET and can be watched on TSN/CFL+.
