As kicker Brett Lauther got refamiliarized with the Saskatchewan Roughriders the past few days, there was one piece of extra business he had to take care of — get back the No. 12 jersey.
Lauther had spent seven seasons with the Riders before he was released this past offseason after a 2025 season where he hit just 72.2 per cent of his field goal attempts. He signed with the Ottawa Redblacks and had a career resurgence in 2026, hitting 94.1 per cent of his attempts.
With Saskatchewan’s kicking struggles all season, general manager Jeremy O’Day sent a fifth-round draft choice to Ottawa for the veteran.
But the number he wore for years was being used by rookie defensive back Malcolm Bell this season.
