The team’s third most productive pass catcher didn’t practice Tuesday or Wednesday because of a foot injury but took part as a full participant in Thursday’s on-field session before the Riders flew to Edmonton on Friday.
EDMONTON – Saskatchewan Roughriders receiver Sam Emilus won’t play in Saturday’s rematch against the Edmonton Elks.
The team’s third most productive pass catcher didn’t practice Tuesday or Wednesday because of a foot injury but took part as a full participant in Thursday’s on-field session before the Riders flew to Edmonton on Friday.
Riders coach Corey Mace didn’t think the injury would keep Emilus out of game when asked by reporters in Regina earlier in the week.
With Emilus out of the lineup, Dhel Duncan-Busby moves to starting slotback and Daniel Wiebe starts at wide receiver.
Emilus has 448 receiving yards and three touchdowns this season.
